1894 Sold to Osmanli Seyrisefain Idaresi (Ottoman Maritime Company), Istanbul, and renamed in BANDIRMA. She was named after the port Bandirma in the Sea of Marmara.

BANDIRMA played an important roll in the modern history of Turkey. The famous Atatürk and others, sailed on her from Istanbul to Samsun (a Turkish port in the Black Sea), to begin a revolution against the Sultan in the Turkish Independence War.
Atatürk landed in Samsun on 09 May 1919.

When the first stamp depicting the BANDIRMA was issued, there was no drawing or a photo of the ship available. While it was believed that Atatürk sailed on a large and big ship from Istanbul to Samsun the reality was, the BANDIRMA was an old and rusty small steamer.
The vessel depict on the stamp is a much larger vessel than the BANDIRMA, and the name is not known, but it must be a ship of that time.

In 1981, a photo of the ship was found, along with the general arrangement plan from England were she was built.
Bernd Langensiepen, who was working by the German yard Blohm & Voss, made a drawing of the vessel according to the photo.
The new stamp issued in March 2000 depicts also BANDIRMA, by comparing the two stamps it looks she have used the same design. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bandirma.jpg has the right vessel.
Still, the Turkish people believe Atatürk made the voyage on a much larger vessel.

BANDIRMA was taken out of service in 1924 and in 1925 sold to breakers in Istanbul.
The cabin, in which Atatürk made the voyage on board the BANDIRMA, is in the Maritime Museum at Istanbul.
