"Poltava". Russian 54-Gun Battleship of 1712. St Petersburg, Russia

"Poltava" was a 54-gun ship of the line of the Russian Navy that was launched on 15th of June, 1712 from Saint Petersburg.
The ship was named after an important for Russia victory over the Swedish Empire in the Battle of Poltava and became the first battleship laid down and built at the St. Petersburg Admiralty.
In the 1710s, the ship was sometimes visited and commanded by Peter I, who also took active part in the design and construction of the ship.
During her service of 1712-1732, Poltava was part of the Baltic Fleet, and before the end of Great Northern War participated in six marine campaigns (1713-1717 and 1721). Poltava was decommissioned in 1732.
In June, 2013, the group of shipbuilding enthusiasts with support of "GazProm", a large Russian company founded in 1989, which carries on the business of extraction, production, transport, and sale of natural gas, began the construction of the exact copy of "Poltava" according to it's original project.

I love these old ships. I used to image what it was like to sail on one, but seldom think about them now. I’m glad you showed us this beautiful ship. Thank you.

[@AntonKramer]

Great project. Nice to see how Russian ship builders still use Dutch terminoligy in ship building. Il live in the Netherlands Zaandam where Peter the great spend some time to master the skills of ship building.. Great to see how Russia repects and preserve her glorious history.

It's good that you show maritime history of Russia. Many believe that only Great Britain built large Ships-of-the-Line. But Russia has had a glorious naval history. Russia needed a viable navy in order to protect it's vast Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific coasts. The maritime tradition remains integral in Russia's place among the World's Super Powers.

If the Battle of Tsushima did not destroy the confidence of the Navy then the Tallinn disaster certainly did.

Russian Russian Navy is considered to be founded in 1696. but in the 10th and 11th century the Russians fought with Byzantium on the black sea, more than 1000 years ago and then there were huge boats of them numbered from hundreds to thousands. It was a huge fleet

Amazing vessel! I was unaware of Russia's Naval constructions of the early 18th Century. Really cool to see, as a Battleship Sailor myself serving on the last of their kind, this is special for me. Спасибо!

[@johannlingmarr8406]

The first attempts at naval construction were undertaken by Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the father of Peter I. The frigate Oryol ("eagle" in English) was built in 1669. But Russia did not have full access to the sea, and only Peter, who won the mouth of the Neva from the Swedes, systematically approached the creation of a navy.

[@lawrencemitchell5983]

@@johannlingmarr8406 Very interesting, thank you. During the late Cold War period, we were in The Sea of Ohktosh, and not surprisingly we saw quite a bit of The Russian Fleet out of Vladivostok....from their perspective It was akin to a Russian battlegroup in The Gulf of Mexico for us (America) I would imagine. We got "buzzed" by a big "Bear" Bomber....and we didn't have air assets close by, so a Japanese (JDF) F-4 Phantom politely escorted the bomber away from us...fun times😁.
