Summary/Abstract: It is not wrong to say that, along with the use of water as a rapid route in transportation, marine technology has improved and facilitated human life. The first examples of the usage of vessels were found in Egyptian civilization at 4000 BC. It is known that the vehicles used in the sea or sweet waters differ basically according to civilization, material and geography. These differences actually created a cultural wealth. The boats and vessels that make up the lifestyle of talented societies in the trade are seen in craft and artworks as reflections of cultural riches. Anatolian lands, which have been home to many civilizations throughout history and surrounded by the sea on three sides, are a special geography blended with an important cultural accumulation in this sense. The vessels produced from ceramics were studied in this research and tried to be evaluated with examples from past to present as a short election. It is possible to see that in the shaping of the mentioned subjects, daily necessities, legends, religious beliefs, effects of non-written cultural heritage. We can say that some of these examples were produced in a unique style by the traditional Çanakkale ceramics. And it is inspired the designs of contemporary ceramists as examples that and links between the past and the future.
