Model of the ship peter and paul. AT
It was built in Holland at the Amsterdam shipyard of the East India Company under the guidance of shipbuilder Garrit Klass Pohl. Peter I participated in the construction of the frigate "Peter and Pavel" from its laying down and almost to the end of the work.
The hull of the frigate is wooden, single-deck (one lower deck), with closed fore and aft ends, and the middle part of the upper deck remained open. The second bottom extended the entire length from the stem to the sternpost. The bowsprit with jib was carried out according to the Dutch system, with the jib pointing upwards and straight sails. The nasal knyavdiged was decorated with a figure in the form of Aphrodite. A fore-mast was placed on the forcastel and a ship's bell (rynda) and a fore-hatch were placed, and krambols were attached to the sides to hold anchors. On the waist, that is, between the fore and main masts, there was an entrance ladder, skylights, above which there was a rowboat and a 6-oared yawl. From both sides of the waist there were bed nets, where the team removed the beds for the day, which served as protection against enemy bullets and buckshot during close combat. Behind the mainmast were dugouts, which housed the entrance ladder and skylight. The mizzen mast had a slanting latin sail and a straight chruysel. Behind the mizzen, a command bridge was carried out by a mast, which ended with a stern with a balcony.
The main power plant is sailing, three masts carried 9 straight (foreground, fore-marseille, fore-bramsel, mainsail, main-marseille, main-bramsel, kruysel, straight jib and straight bom-jib) and 3 oblique sails (fore staysail, fore topmast staysail and mizzen), the total sail area is 490 m2. The frigate had 1 bog oak rudder.
The armament of the frigate consisted of:
- Of the 22 single-barreled 6-pounder (96-mm) guns with a barrel length of 20 calibers, which were located side by side on the upper deck, both closed in the bow and stern, and open in the middle part of the frigate. Manual loading through the muzzle with cores. The ammunition located in the cellars was fed manually. The calculation of the gun included 4 people. The cast-iron, smooth-bore gun was placed on a wheeled wooden machine. The elevation angle of the gun reached 10 °. The firing range was about 1.3 km. The mass of the gun was about 838.2 kg.
- Of 4 single-barreled 3-pounder guns (76 mm) with a barrel length of 19 calibers. Two retirade in the stern on the lower deck under the commander's balcony and two overtaking in the bow of the frigate. The iron gun, smooth-bore on a pin, could rotate around its axis. Loading manual cores. The mass of the gun was 368.3 kg.
The frigate of the 24-gun rank "Peter and Pavel" is known for the fact that Peter I took part in its construction as a ship's carpenter, who received a certificate of a ship's master after the completion of the construction.
The frigate was built at the Amsterdam shipyard in Holland.
The frigate was delivered to the fleet in 1698.
Tactical and technical data of the frigate In total, ships were rebuilt in 1698 - 1 unit.
The frigate "Peter and Pavel" was built at a shipyard in Holland in 1698 with the personal participation of Peter the Great, who represented himself as "Peter Mikhalov" in the Russian delegation.
The idea of the need for the Russian state to have a fleet - arose in Peter I in his early youth, after successful experiments in building ships on Lake Pereyaslav in 1689-1692. (two small frigates and three yachts), and Peter I himself took part in the work as an ordinary carpenter. In 1693, Peter I, while in Arkhangelsk, founded the Solombala shipyard and built two ships on it - the yacht "Saint Peter" and the ship "Saint Paul" and at the same time ordered the 44-gun frigate "Holy Prophecy" to the Dutch who came to Arkhangelsk. In 1694, Peter I was again in Arkhangelsk, where for the first time he went to the open sea with a squadron of three ships, seeing off the Dutch trade embassy. Leaving Arkhangelsk, Peter I takes the first Azov campaign against Turkey. Preparing for this campaign, Peter I founded a shipbuilding and shipyard in Voronezh. In a short time, 22 galleys, 4 fire ships and 2 ships of the galleass type were built here.
But the first Azov campaign (1695) ended unsuccessfully: it was not possible to take Azov. The flotilla created by Peter (mainly from galleys) turned out to be insufficient and poorly armed to blockade the seaside fortress.
But the failure did not discourage Peter, he set about preparing for the second campaign against Azov with triple energy. A more powerful fleet began to be built in Voronezh, and in the spring of 1696, a Russian fleet appeared near Azov, consisting of two frigates, 23 galleys, 4 fire ships and over 1,000 small ships and barges for transporting troops. The fleet was commanded by Lefort, and Peter was a volunteer on one of the frigates. The second Azov campaign was a brilliant success - in July 1696 Azov was taken. The fleet created by Peter ensured the capture of Azov. In Azov, Peter I arranged the first seaport.
However, the task of Russia's access to the Black Sea by taking Azov had not yet been solved. To do this, it was necessary to capture Kerch, and to carry out this task, an even stronger fleet was needed. Preparations for the third campaign began. The shipyard in Voronezh was expanded, workshops and warehouses for timber were built. Shipbuilding in Voronezh continued, and closer to the Don, new shipyards began to be created.
The first attempts to build reliable ships for the future Azov flotilla convinced young Peter that the foreign shipbuilders he invited to serve in Russia were little versed in their business or did not want to give out all their secrets. And then Peter, trying to comprehend the essence of shipbuilding, he takes up the ax himself.
And so, in order to create a coalition to fight against Turkey for access to the Black Sea, Peter I in March 1697 sent a "great embassy" to Holland, England and Venice - the maritime powers of that time. Together with the embassy, more than 100 people were sent to study shipbuilding and maritime affairs.
One group of volunteers under the name of Peter Mikhailov included Peter I.
The trip lasted about a year and a half. At first, Peter I worked in Amsterdam as a simple carpenter at the shipyard of the East India Company under the guidance of the well-known shipbuilder Claes Pohl in those days. For four and a half months the Russian tsar worked diligently with the ship's master, studied everything he could, learned all the tricks of a complex specialty.
Klas Pol was very pleased with the work of the king-carpenter, as eloquently evidenced by the certificate he issued to Peter I: “I, the undersigned, Gerrit Klas Pol, shipmaster at the Amsterdam Chamber of the privileged East India Company, testify and certify in truth that Peter Mikhailov (being in the retinue of the great Moscow embassy, among those who here, in Amsterdam, at the East India shipyard from August 30, 1697 to the date indicated below, lived and worked as a carpenter under our guidance) during his noble stay here was a diligent and reasonable carpenter , also in tying, hammering, rallying, lifting, adjusting, stretching, weaving, caulking, planing, drilling, sawing, paving and tarring, he acted as a good and skillful carpenter should, and helped us in the construction of the frigate "Peter and Paul", from its first laying, 100 feet long (from stem to stern), almost to its end, and not only under my supervision, but his nobility thoroughly studied the workable architecture and drawing of plans, but also comprehended these subjects to the extent that we ourselves understand them. For authentic authentication, I signed this with my own hand. Given at Amsterdam, at our permanent residence in the East India Dockyard, January 14, in the Lord's summer, 1698.
Gerrit Claes Pohl, shipbuilder of the privileged East India Company in Amsterdam.
Such is the history of the Dutch frigate Peter and Paul.
The main dimensions of the ship: maximum length - 32.85 m, length along the waterline -
27.3 m, keel length - 24.0 m, width - 7.2 m.
Working under the guidance of Claes Pohl, who was considered one of the best craftsmen in Holland, Peter was disappointed not only in his knowledge, but also in the knowledge of all other Dutch masters, since it turned out that they were not well versed in the theory of shipbuilding. Peter I was convinced that the Dutch shipbuilders were just artisans, relying only on natural intelligence and fidelity of the eye. And Peter I moved to England, where he replenished his knowledge of the theory of shipbuilding and maritime practice. Peter's deep study of all branches of maritime affairs turned out to be the basis on which the glorious future of the Russian navy grew. The student returned to his homeland as a master.
Peter I set the goal of returning to Russia access to the coast of the Baltic Sea, for which purpose to seize Narva, and then further develop military operations.
The beginning of the struggle between Russia and Sweden for the Baltic depended heavily on the success of peace negotiations with Turkey. To conclude the most favorable peace with Turkey, the Russian ambassador was sent to Constantinople in 1699 on the 46-gun ship Fortress, and to Kerch he was accompanied by a Russian squadron of 11 large ships and other ships built in Voronezh during 1697-1699 .
In July 1700, a truce was concluded with Turkey for 30 years, according to which the mouth of the Don, as well as the cities of Azov and Taganrog, were left behind Russia. The first naval base is founded on the Sea of Azov in Taganrog.
Excerpt:
"...
"Saint Pavel", allegedly the first ship that left the Solombala shipyard in the spring of 1694, is also not a real thing - it takes several years to build a shipyard, the construction of a sailboat itself takes at least a year and a half, at the fastest pace. By the way, to launch the ships from the Solombala shipyard, a long channel was cut in the monolithic rock, which connected the shipyard with the navigable fairway of the river - a grandiose work, not feasible in a few winter months. Thus, the construction of the ship "Saint Pavel" in Russia also hung in the air.
In 1693, near Arkhangelsk, Peter had no craftsmen, no shipyards, no materials - nothing. How could a shipyard be built from scratch in one winter and immediately build two warships on it? This is an unprecedented technical breakthrough in shipbuilding. Why, then, four years later did Peter go to the Great Embassy? It is just right for the Dutch themselves to come to Peter and learn from the experience, learn the Stakhanov methods of building sea vessels in extreme conditions. By the way, in the Preface of Peter I to the Naval Regulations, the year of foundation of the Arkhangelsk Admiralty and the Solombala shipyard is carefully erased. Why? Because the Solombala shipyard was founded much later than the Arkhangelsk voyages of Peter I in 1693-1694. According to the research of the historian T. Sanakina from the State Archives of the Arkhangelsk region, military shipbuilding at the Solombala shipyard began only in 1708. Peter's decree itself on laying the foundation stone of the Solombala shipyard is dated 1702. How could Peter's ships from the Solombala shipyard be born 10 years before its foundation? And why, after launching several sea frigates from the Solombala shipyard, since 1694, the shipyard did not produce any more ships over the next decade?! Since 1694, Peter himself did not visit Arkhangelsk for 8 years! The love for the sea suddenly disappeared, just as the first "flying Dutchmen" of His Majesty suddenly disappeared.

While Peter's squadrons are sailing towards Russia, let's try to establish the real dimensions of the naval armada, which Peter had long before the construction of the first sea ships on the Syasskaya and Solombalskaya whirlpools. In addition to the ships "St. Peter" and "St. Paul", which historians sometimes recall, much larger sea sailing ships are known. For example, "St. Peter and Pavel. Reading: "St. Peter and Pavel "- 60 guns, length 30.5 m; built at the East India shipyard in Amsterdam with the help of Russian volunteers led by Peter I (1697); presented to Russia and sailed to Arkhangelsk in the same year, at the end of the 17th century. converted to merchant ship(I.V. Bogatyrev, Foreign shipyards for the Peter's fleet. "Shipbuilding", 1986, No. 3). In total, we have that the ship "Saint Peter and Paul" was built during the Great Embassy and went to Arkhangelsk. The version with a gift is simply ridiculous, because it is too expensive to give a brand new 60-gun ship for that time, and why on earth? And why, then, among the gifts, historians remember one medium yacht "The Transport Royal", and forget the gigantic 60-gun frigate even at that time?
According to our reconstruction, Peter was in Holland in 1691-1693, from where he set off as part of a huge flotilla near Narva and Arkhangelsk. The flotilla was built with the money of European monarchs for crusade to Russia, gifts have absolutely nothing to do with it. It's just that these ships were chartered (taken on a long-term lease). That is why the ships "Saint Peter" and "Saint Paul" surface near Arkhangelsk just in 1693-1694. as part of the Dutch and English convoys, and the ship "St. Peter and Paul" went to Russia during the Great Embassy.
The huge Peter's frigate "St. Peter and Paul" was captured by the Dutch marine painter Abraham Storck (1644-1708) during the Great Embassy. A whole cycle of his works is connected with Peter I and his first ships. So in the picture of Stork (Czar Peter en route to the newly built fregate Peter and Paul (Peter I on a yacht follows the newly built frigate "Peter and Paul"), it is clearly visible that Peter considered this ship to be his flagship. the Dutch tricolor flies proudly like a frigate:

The second painting by Araham Stork shows a military frigate and the title: "Tsar Peter the Great and his companions cruising off the Dutch coast in his boier". Translated into Russian: "Tsar Peter the Great and his associates are moving away from the Dutch coast on their boat." Of course, it is impossible to travel by sea on a buer. A buer is an auxiliary watercraft for delivering a team to the shore from a vessel in the roadstead and vice versa. Along the entire front of the picture, we see a huge military frigate, in great detail repeating the ship "Peter and Paul" from the previous painting by Stork. Before us is the flagship of Peter I, on which in 1693 he set off on a military campaign to the east. Above the ship is the "Dutch" flag:

The person of Peter I aroused increased attention in Abraham Stork. In addition to the Petrovsky flagship and its departure to the east, Stork also reflected the famous amusing maneuvers of the Petrine ships, attributed by our historians to the shallow Lake Pleshcheyevo.

Quite remarkable is another painting by A. Stork, without a title. It depicts sea vessels and a yacht under the Romanov Prussian coat of arms. The yacht is extremely similar to the English yacht "The Transport Royal". But why is there a Dutch flag above it, if the ship was originally presented to Peter by the English king? And with the Prussian Romanov coat of arms, in general, a historical rebus, because it is officially believed that the coat of arms was first compiled by B.V. Köhne in the reign of Emperor Alexander II and officially approved on December 8, 1856. Allegedly, this coat of arms has nothing to do with Frederick and Peter. But as we see, this is not so. For the first time, the Prussian "Romanov" coat of arms with griffins appeared with the advent of Peter I and historically represented the family coat of arms of Brandenburg. It was from the house of Brandenburg-Prussia that Peter I originated (see Chapter No. 4 of this book, part 1).

As we can see, in some pictures regarding Peter's ships, someone erased the original names. But A. Stork's painting "The frigate Pieter and Paul on the IJ" is especially curious, on which the name was left, but in coded form.

Abraham Stork. The frigate Pieter and Paul on the IJ (Frigate Peter and Paul).
What does the strange abbreviation "IJ" stand for? Where did the frigate "Pieter and Paul" go as part of a huge squadron, and what inspired the artist in this event so much that he decided to capture it? I have the following solution to this riddle. The phrase "The frigate Pieter and Paul on the IJ" originally sounded like: "The frigate Pieter and Paul on the I... Journey", that is, we are talking about some significant campaign where the ship "Peter and Paul" went as part of a combat squadron . Perhaps this is Ingermanland, where Oreshek was located, which will soon be taken by Peter under the general rejoicing of Europe. Even in the thoroughly deceitful TI, the Ingrian campaign near Narva is considered to be the first campaign of Peter as emperor. As we remember, Narva is one of the departure points for Peter's ships from the shipyards of Holland; one of the ships was called "Guverneur von Narva", that is, the ruler of Narva.
In any case, it is very strange that the official historical science I am not at all interested in the history of the FIRST BATTLE SEA FRIGATE Peter I. But Abraham Stork did not devote so many wonderful paintings to any other ship.
Therefore, the ship "Peter and Paul" was the flagship of Peter the Great. On it, he went on his first campaign in 1693 and it was the first Russian sea ship. In the unpublished preparatory texts of A.S. Pushkin to the "History of Peter" says so: "Peter's ship was ready. The king, naming Peter and Paul, sent him to Arkhang.<ельск>. This ship was the first of the Russian ones that appeared in the White Sea"(Annenkov P. V. [Materials for the biography of A. S. Pushkin]. - In the book: Works of Pushkin ... Published by P. V. Annenkov. St. Petersburg, 1855, vol. I, p. 166).
Of course, among the innumerable squadrons of Peter, there may have been less significant ships that have already been noted in the documents about the first amusing voyages "Apostle Paul", "Apostle Peter", "Mars", "Mercury", "Castricum", etc. But the first flagship of the Peter's flotilla was the frigate "Pieter and Paul", which Romanov historians later turned into the first two Russian ships "St. Peter" and "St. Paul", allegedly built by Peter in 1693 on the shores of the White Sea..."Nice, if it wasn't so sad.
The frigate "Peter and Pavel" was built at a shipyard in Holland in 1698 with the personal participation of Peter the Great, who represented himself as "Peter Mikhalov" in the Russian delegation.
