Gülcemal, a passenger steam ship, was constructed in 1874 in Belfast and initially provided service on the Atlantic Ocean under the names Germanic and Ottawa. It was sold to the Ottoman Seyr-i Sefain Management in 1911. During the Balcan War, First World War and the Turkish War of Independence it was used to provide military transportation. After four civil voyages in the early 1920s, Gülcemal became the preferred ship of Atatürk and the first ship to officially travel to America under the Turkish flag. Decommissioned in 1950, after 75 years in service, Gülcemal at that time was known as the second longest serving ship in the world.

Gülcemal, Balkan Savaşı, I. Dünya Savaşı ve Kurtuluş Savaşı’nda asker taşımada kullanıldı. 1920’lerin başında yaptığı dört seferle Amerika’ya giden Türk bayraklı ilk gemi olarak Türk sivil denizcilik tarihine geçti. Atatürk’ün deniz yolculuklarının çoğuna da ev sahipliği yapan Gülcemal, 1950’de söküldüğünde 75 yıllık hizmet ömrüyle o tarihte dünyanın en uzun süre çalışmış olan ikinci gemisiydi.
