Inebolu‘One of the buildings that you will encounter while stepping through the streets formed by the city culture that has come to the present day by filtering through the deep-rooted maritime history of the city, exhibiting the traces of time with a modest but noble stance is Historical Port Authority building. Although it is not known exactly when and by whom it was built, the details on its facade and the way it was constructed point to the last quarter of the 19th century or the early 20th century.
Until 1970, this building, which served as the official address of sailors and bargemen steering the rough waters of the Black Sea, was the heart of the maritime trade of the district for many years. In 2007, the building underwent a restoration and today its doors are closed and idle.
However, this silence should not be the end, but the threshold of a new beginning. This building that harbors the deep-rooted maritime memory of Inebolu in its stone walls, “Museum City” is waiting to be revitalized in line with its vision. The transformation of this historical building, which has survived the stormy days of the past, into a living museum telling the glorious maritime past of the district, will not only mean saving a building, but also protecting the spirit and heritage of Inebolu.
