The Bandırma Ferry successfully completed its mission and returned to Istanbul and continued its postal service. Finally, the Bandırma Ferry broke down in 1925 and was taken to the Haliç Shipyard and torn to be a razor blade. The example in the Bandırma Ferry Museum is an imitation very close to the original.

During the transition period from church to mosque, the building was also used as a museum.

Scenes such as the birth of Christ, baptism, crucifixion, and doomsday are depicted on the pendants. Twelve apostles are depicted between the windows.
