History

History:

Also referred to as a “mule barge,” this type of lighter was used to transport supplies and animals between ships and the shoreline. Measuring 11.5 × 3.5 meters, it is fitted with a front-loading ramp to facilitate access to the shore. During the evacuation of Arıburnu in December 1915, the Allies either destroyed or scuttled equipment, ammunition, and supplies that they could not take with them. It is thought that the lighter located in Arıburnu was also scuttled during this withdrawal.
