The Pull of Piracy
Having to contest with old naval powers such as Byzantium and Venice, we're sorely outmatched in the Aegean - at least for now.
But since many Turkish men have taken to the sea, to engage in piracy under our banner, we could utilize some of those raiders to strengthen our proper fleet.

3483historical_info = flavor_tur.54.historical_info In the early Ottoman period, many Turks took to the sea, raiding Greek settlements on the islands close to the Anatolian mainland. As piracy expanded, it seems to have been profitable indeed - one eyewitness' account claims that many men that would have been sorely needed in the battle against Timur were already occupied, preparing for expeditions at sea.
