Thanks for the welcome.

Zorlu doesn't actually give any fate for Selimiye just that "It also appears as a triple-decker galleon in 1810 on the list of the navy." (p. 140) In his next paragraph he goes on to refer to another writer (Hayati Tezel) who describes a Selimiye built in 1808 and gives details as listed by John Tredea. He concludes "Most probably, the Selimiye described by Tezel is a different ship bearing the same name." So Zorlu himself isn't entirely sure. It's possible that the different lengths are for keel (shorter) versus deck (longer) as Zorlu doesn't specify although lengths typically quoted in Turkish sources are for the keel.
