Dragoman of the Fleet
The Dragoman of the Fleet (Ottoman Turkish: ترسانه ترجمانی, romanized: tersâne tercümânı, lit. 'Dragoman of the Arsenal'; Greek: δραγουμάνος του στόλου) was a senior office in the Ottoman Empire, held by Phanariote Greeks during the 18th and early 19th centuries. As the chief deputy of the Kapudan Pasha, the Dragoman of the Fleet played a leading role in the administration of the various autonomous communities of the islands and coasts of the Aegean Sea that fell within the Eyalet of the Archipelago.
