probably the early 2000s. Looks like one of those illustrations from history books I had as a kid

Constantinople didn't exist in 2000, noob.
The picture must be from a thousand years ago.

Thanks! I'm surprised they had ships like that back then but ok.

They had them, and unless I'm mistaken it seems like they were even starting to get a bit outdated at the time of the picture.

How come Muslims had so much trouble fighting Europeans for control of the Mediterranean during later centuries.

Because Turks were great land fighters and the had the advantage of excellent cannons early on, but their ship building left a lot to be desired.
