Özet: In Turkey, Amateur Seaman Certificate (ADB) is a document issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure as well as the Maritime Port Authority. In order to promote interest in amateur seamanship, maritime culture and seafaring life, a total of 1 million Amateur Seaman's Certificate will be issued to enthusiastic Turkish citizens by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. In this study documentation and education processes which are important for the development of Amateur Seamanship were evaluated by conducting a survey in the city of Çanakkale. A questionnaire was applied to a total of 552 participants in order to determine the level of interest in seamanship by gender. Results indicated that men younger than 30 years with a high school diploma had the highest interest in seamanship. There was a statistically significant difference between genders in their interest in seamanship (P≤0,05).
