Galleys, scampaways and half-galleys. IN

The Venetian galley remained a typical military rowing vessel for centuries. On each side they placed from 26 to 30 cans, placed at an angle to the side. At first, three rowers were seated on the bank, equipped with a single oar (Terzaruolo system).

In the 15th century The rowing system changes somewhat. The banks began to be placed vertically one above the other and from three to six rowers were seated on one large oar. The oars were supported by a beam protruding over the side with pin-shaped oarlocks - a post on which a bulwark was placed to protect the rowers.

The deck of the galley was divided into three parts by partitions. At the bow there was a large platform with raised edges at the sides, called a rambat: guns were placed here, and soldiers were located in preparation for battle.

In the rear part of the stern there was a “gazebo” covered with an openwork canopy - a tent. The middle of the galley, reserved for the oarsmen, was divided into two halves by a curonian - a longitudinal platform along which zealous overseers walked. The galley's spar, usually two-masted, carried lateen sails. The bow of the ship turned into a long ram, which continued to be actively used along with firearms.

In the bow, under the raised deck, there was a heavy Curonian cannon; two lighter guns were placed on either side of it. The guns “said” only when the galley approached the enemy. As soon as the ram pierced the surface of the enemy ship, the artillery guns fell silent and the soldiers rushed to board.

French galley "La Ferme"

The Venetian rowing flotilla was very diverse in its composition. The sluggish cargo bastard galleys had a rounded stern, and the narrow battle galleys were the fastest and most nimble.

Venetian one-masted galley

Thanks to their shallow draft and effective operation in shallow water and in calm weather, galleys are gradually gaining recognition in the northern seas. Vessels of this type are increasingly found in the coastal waters of Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Russia.

Venetian galleas

The Venetian galleas had larger dimensions than a galley. The length of the three-masted galleas, which did not shy away from battle even with two dozen galleys, often reached 70 m, and its crew included 1000-1200 sailors.

Galeas had 32 rowing banks, each with two oars. With one oar, depending on the circumstances, 6-7 rowers were controlled. The galleasses, which were far ahead of the galleys in terms of combat power, made their first test in the naval battle of 1571. at Lepanto, bringing Christians victory over the Turkish fleet.

Battle of Lepanto

Nevertheless, the seaworthiness of the galleys and galleasses left much to be desired. The low seaworthiness of the galleasses led to the fact that their captains, under threat of a fine, were forbidden to go to the open sea during all four months of inclement weather. It is not surprising that galleasses were not popular.

Venice itself, the birthplace of these ships and one of the greatest maritime powers that ever existed, never had more than 7 galleasses in service at once. The advantages of galleasses manifested themselves mainly during calm periods, when, while rowing, they could develop significant speed. As for ordinary galleys, in stormy weather sailing on them became dangerous even near the sea coast, since the crew was not always able to cope with the control of their ship. And I couldn’t even dream of crossing the Atlantic.

And yet there was some attractive feature in these courts, because of which the strong Mediterranean powers did not want to part with them - until the 18th century. sailing and rowing galleys continue to replenish European fleets.

By the way, it was this type of ship that Peter I preferred when creating a naval squadron to prepare for the second Azov campaign.

French galley "La Reale", 1526.

Obviously, the galley, which had good maneuverability and had a shallow draft, was best suited for operations at the mouth of the Don and on the Sea of ​​Azov, and the powerful artillery that galleys were armed with in those days was capable of withstanding any enemy ship.

The model for the construction of the first Russian sailing and rowing ships was a two-masted 16-can half-galley, ordered by the Tsar Carpenter in distant Holland. The galley, delivered disassembled, was assembled in the village of Preobrazhenskoye near Moscow.

Based on its type, there, in Preobrazhenskoe, they began to produce parts for the hulls of the first Russian half-galleys with a small number of oars. The built rowing fleet brought Peter victory at Azov, and in 1697. In Voronezh, construction of 17 large galleys begins at once. These ships had 20-24 banks. Their length was 41.7-53 m, and their width was 5.5-7.3 m. On board they carried 21-27 cannons, three of which were necessarily large - six- and twelve-pounders. The rest were light falconets on swivels. Among the Russian galleys there were also three-masted ones.

Galley "Dvina"

A jibe is a ship's course that coincides with the direction of the wind.

The galley fleet, which had proven itself excellent in Azov, turned out to be good enough for combat operations in the shallow Baltic. The foundation of Peter's Baltic squadron, laid at the beginning of the 18th century, consisted of 13 half-galleys 17.4 m long, each containing only 10-12 cans. The armament of the half-galleys usually consisted of one 12-pounder Curonian cannon and two 3-pounder running guns. Galleys and half-galleys, in addition to 24-40 oarsmen and sailors, had to take on board 9-14 officers and up to 150 soldiers for boarding or landing.

The rigging of galleys of that time sailing in the northern seas became much more complicated. The mainmast was supported by up to ten pairs of shrouds, while there were five on the foremast. The cables stood on hoists with long flat double-pulley blocks. Two masts held lateen sails. On the gybe, the sails were set in a butterfly fashion, pointing one rue to the port side and the other to the starboard side. When there was a fresh wind from the stern, the triangular sail on the raft mast was replaced by a straight one. And when it was necessary to row against the wind, the yards were turned along the hull of the galley. They did the same during the battle, so as not to interfere with the sailors sitting on the oars manipulating the ship.

The last "Bucentaur"

The large galleys of Peter the Great's fleet often served as flagships. Thus, on the 21-can galley “Natalya”, launched in 1708, Admiral General F.M. held his flag. Apraksin. It was a typical rowing ship, the length of which along the deck was more than 53 m, and the width with posts was about 7.5 m. The Natalya carried one 24-pounder Curonian cannon and two 12-pounder running guns, as well as twelve small guns mounted on swivels. For each oar of the flagship galley there were as many as 5 rowers.

Among the representative ships of different eras, the Bucentaurs, the large galleys of the Venetian doges, deserve special mention. It was on these ships that annually, for six centuries, the sacred rite of “betrothal of Venice to the sea” was performed. On the morning of the holiday, the Doge, accompanied by the nobility and ambassadors of neighboring states, climbed onto the deck of the Bucentaur, which, accompanied by an escort of countless elegant gondolas, slowly went out into the middle of the lagoon and headed towards the island of St. Helena.

It was truly a grandiose spectacle! A boat was leaving the island to meet the Bucentaur. The prelate, who was on board the boat, blessed a large vessel of water and then poured it back into the sea. When the “Bucentaur” slowly sailed past the island of Lido, a window opened in the stern and the hand of the highest-ranking person of Venice, betrothed to the sea, threw a massive golden ring into its quiet but treacherous waters.

During the existence of this beautiful custom, the Venetians managed to build and bury more than one “Bucentaur”. The first of these ships, dating back to the 12th century, was a 62-oar bireme. In the nose, the bireme had two rams with images of lion heads, symbolizing the patronage of these ships by St. Mark himself. The sides in the bow of the bireme were decorated with images of laurel wreaths. The idea of ​​dominance at sea was reinforced by the high relief depicting folded captured weapons. The galleries along the sides of the ship were fenced with a balustrade decorated with carved floral patterns. The two masts that formed the basis of the spar of any classic Venetian galley could carry sails if necessary.

Model of the latest "Bucentaur"

The aft part of the open bridge, which was ascended along the front ladder, ended with sculptures of trumpeting geniuses and turrets with a flag.

The last “Bucentaur” was a double-decker ship built in the middle of the 18th century. at the behest of Doge Alvis Mocenigo. The upper deck was intended for the Doge and his retinue; on the lower one there were 16 rowers. More than one book could be devoted to a detailed description of the decorations of this ship - the latest of the “Bucentaurs” was a real floating monument of fine art, made in the Baroque style. What was it worth, say, just the top ram! It was all strewn with carved shells and seaweed.

On top of the ram stood a winged lion with straightened wings - a symbol of Venice. And approximately in the middle of the ram there was a figure with a torch, leaning on a sculpture of the genius of war, proudly reclining on trophies. Where the ram met the hull, a huge sea shell rose, serving as a pedestal for a group of two sculptures. One of them, holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other, depicted Justice.

Another figure symbolized the kneeling world extending an olive branch to Justice. The creators of the latest “Bucentaur” were so carried away by the decorations that they even replaced some of the ship’s supporting structures with them. Thus, the upper part of the transverse links of the body was made in the form of caryatids, the figures of which formed portholes and supported the roof of the salon, which housed the doge's retinue.

At the bow end of the ship there was an open gallery-balustrade with balusters in the form of figures of the young sea deity Triton - half-man, half-fish. The aft gallery rested on the shoulders of two giants - Efiltes and Otis. The only mast did not carry any sails, but only served as a flagpole for a gold-embroidered flag.

The most famous type of Mediterranean vessel, along with the galley, is the light xebec. The shebeka, 25-35 m long, had a strongly extended stem and an upper deck that protruded far beyond the stern. The shape of the underwater part of this vessel was unusually sharp. Algerian corsairs especially loved the fast xebec - it was the fastest sailing ship in the entire history of sea piracy. Pretty soon the xebec migrated to the French fleet. (Obviously, the cunning French considered that they had to fight the enemy with his own weapons.) In the 18th century. the Algerian xebec carried three “block masts”. If a light breeze blew from the stern, yards with relatively wide straight sails were placed on the foremast and mainmast. When there was a side wind, the yards with the sails stretched over them were removed, and long Latin ryu were installed instead.

Belgian xebec "Le Reguin"

The large triangular sails attached to them often refused to obey in a storm. Then the sailors raised short ryu with smaller lateen sails on all masts. The sailing rig of the French xebec was, as a rule, completely straight, with topmasts on half-acre masts. The top-yards were equipped with perths, and the mainmast even had a top-yard boom. In addition to the jibs, the xebec carried four staysails. In case of complete calm, shebeks, like galleys, were equipped with oars, of which there were few - from 8 to 12 pairs. The oar holes were located directly above the cannon ports.

Algerian Xebek Corps

The felucca was widely used for transporting goods and fishing in the Mediterranean. Although the small (about 15 m) felucca was very reminiscent of a galley, it completely lacked a stem, and the bow and stern had a pointed shape. The felucca was not armed with cannons, considering it exclusively as a merchant ship. The felucca had two masts: a forward-sloping foremast, which was moved very close to the bow, and a mainmast, standing vertically in the middle of the ship. 6-7 oars on each side could not give the felucca high speed - the triangular lateen sails were responsible for the speed of the ship.

Many other types of ships originated from the galleys: a fast fusta with 18-22 banks for oarsmen on each side, a galliot with 14-20 banks, a brigantine with 8-12 banks, and, finally, a saya - a light frigate with a straight sail on the foresail. mast and lateen sails on the main and mizzen masts.

Block mast - a mast without a topmast, in the upper part of which there was a multi-pulley block for wiring the rigging.

A half-acre mast is a pole mast that does not have a topmast or topsail. Used on half-acre and xebec type vessels.


Galleys are large rowing ships with one row of oars. The name "galley" comes from the Greek word for "swordfish". The length of the galleys' oars ranged from 9 to m, and the number of oars reached 5-7 people. The speed under the oars of the galleys reached 7 knots. 1alera carried 2-3 mach
you (in some cases - 4 masts) with oblique or straight sails.
In the Russian fleet of the 18th century. large rowing ships were called galleys, half-galleys and scampaways. These ships had no fundamental differences. A number of authors believe that scampaways and half-galleys were smaller in size than galleys. In fact, the documents mention scampaways that are larger in size than galleys. In various documents of Peter the Great’s time, the same ship was often called either a galley or a scampaveya. Therefore, the best historian of the Russian fleet, F.F. Veselago combined them together in his reference book26.
The first 13 scampaways (according to other sources - half-galleys) were laid down in October 1703 at the Olonets shipyard.
Since 1711 galleys are built in Vyborg, since 1720 - in St. Petersburg, and in Abo. In total, over 200 galleys, half-galleys and scampaways were built during the war in the Baltic. Accurate records were not kept, and even the names of most of the galleys have not reached us, not to mention their tactical and technical characteristics.
Russian galleys (scampaveys, half-galleys) were built of three types - French, Venetian and Turkish “maniru”. Most of the galleys were "Turkish maniru". Turkish galleys were distinguished by great speed and maneuverability, but worse seaworthiness, since they had low sides. In fresh weather in the Baltic, it was not recommended for Turkish manir galleys to sail. Only in the autumn of 1714, 16 galleys (scampaways) of the “Turkish mapiru” sank in a storm.
The “Turkish Maniru” galleys were keel ships with a long and narrow hull, which had a slight elevation above the water level. In front they had a slightly raised nasal protrusion, reminiscent of a ram. It was called spiron. The front end of the yardarm (raypa) was attached to it, holding the sail of the trine ket (foresail) mast of the galley. Behind the spiron in the bow of the galleys there was a platform on which guns of the largest calibers were placed. The most powerful weapon stood in the center. In the middle of the galley, from bow to stern, there was another platform - the so-called Curonian, which served for the rapid movement of people along the galley and dragging cargo. It was covered with two tarred tarpaulins. From the bow to the stern superstructure to the left and right of the Curonian platform there were rowers' day benches, called banks. At the stern there was a superstructure of a cabin, formed by wooden beams or arcs, over which a tent was stretched - a tendalet.
In 1710-1721 In Russia, 16-, 18- and 19-gauge galleys of Turkish proportions were built. Their length was 30 m and width 5.3-5.6 m. Draft without load was 0.56-0.66 m, with load - 1.22-1.52 m.
The main engine of the galley was the oars. Their weight reached 90 kg, and their length was 13 m. From 3 to rowers sat behind each oar, depending on the size of the galley. Experienced rowers made up to 25 strokes per minute, which allowed them to reach speeds of up to 6 knots.
The galleys also sailed relatively well. They usually carried two masts with slanting sails.
Due to their design features, galleys could not have powerful artillery weapons. Only at the bow of the galley (on the platform) were three medium or large caliber guns mounted. The first Russian galleys had one 18-pounder or 24-pounder gun on the bow and two 12-pounder guns on either side, and half-galleys had one 12-pounder and two 6- or 8-pounder guns. By the end of the war, some large galleys had one 36-pounder and two
18-pounder guns. In some cases, small mortars of 3-6 pound caliber were placed on the bow platform.
On the platform in the middle part of the hull, 2-pound and 3-pound guns were mounted on swivel mounts on the galleys. The two-pounder guns on galleys were often called bas. The cannons on the central platform were intended not only to fire at the enemy, but also to suppress rower riots.
The first volume of the “History of Russian Shipbuilding” states: “Thus, all eight galleys built according to the 1703 program were powerful warships and posed a serious threat to the Swedish fleet”27. There is no need to comment on such a passage. The weakest Swedish ship (50-gun) could smash a dozen of the largest galleys to smithereens.
Only small sailing ships could become prey for galleys, and if there were a large number of galleys, a pram or a frigate. When approaching an enemy ship, the attacking galleys fired a salvo from their bow guns. Then, from the ends of the yards of both masts, special “attack anchors” were dropped, with which the galley coupled with the enemy ship, and the galley crew landed on the enemy’s deck. However, as we will see, during the entire war with the Swedes, galleys were boarded in isolated cases. In our Baltic Fleet, galleys were mainly used as troop transports and landing craft.
In the Ottoman Empire, France, Venice, Sweden and other countries, the oarsmen were usually convicts. By the way, the word convict comes from the name of the rowing ship “Katorga”. At first, this was the case on the first Russian galleys. So, in November 1704, Rear Admiral Boyis compiled a list of all the ranks required to staff galleys with teams. According to this list, each galley should contain 70 officers, constables, sailors and gunners, 150 boarding party soldiers and 250 slave rowers. But it soon became clear that hundreds of galleys would require tens of thousands of convicts. In battle, convicts pose a certain danger - at any moment they can start a riot or simply stop rowing. Therefore, Peter decided to replace the convicts with soldiers of infantry regiments.
Slaves in the galleys spent the night between banks, as they say, at work places. Peter's soldiers spent the night like this only in exceptional cases. Russian galleys rarely went out to the open sea, but usually moved among the Finnish skerries, where they were inaccessible to the Swedish naval fleet. Therefore, in the evening the galleys moored to the shore, and most of the crew members spent the night on the shore.
In April 1714, the first three horse-drawn galleys (scampaways) in Russia were launched at the Galernaya shipyard in St. Petersburg28. Each such galley was intended to transport 25 horses. In the evenings or at daytime stops, horses were released to graze on the shore.
Thanks to Finland's rugged coastline, difficult terrain, and poor roads, galleys became the optimal means of transporting troops.
During the reign of Catherine II, on 25-can galleys there were 5 rowers per oar, on 22-can galleys there were 5 rowers, on 20- and 16-can galleys there were 4 rowers. On 20-bar galleys there are only 160-200 rowers, on 16-bar galleys - 128 rowers.

The ship was laid down in November 1698 at the Voronezh shipyard and launched on April 27 (May 8), 1700. Construction was carried out according to the project, drawings and with the personal participation of Peter I. He was assisted by talented Russian shipbuilders - the “master of good proportions” F. Sklyaev and the skilled carpenter L. Vereshchagin. The length of the vessel was 36 m, width 9.5 m, hold depth 2.9 m. There were twenty-six 16-pound guns on the lower deck, twenty-four 8-pounders on the top deck and eight 3-pounders on the poop. Crew 253 people. Significant design improvements were introduced during the construction process. Previously, the keel of the ship was made from one massive beam. Peter I ordered it to be made from two beams fastened together with wooden dowels. If it hit the ground, only the lower beam would fall off, but the ship itself would remain undamaged. A similar design was used in the construction of ships in England only in the 40s of the 19th century. "Goto Predestination" ("God's Foresight") is not only the first 58-gun ship of Russian construction, but also an example of sculptural and decorative decoration, a work of art in the style of Peter the Great's Baroque. The carvings on the bow and stern, as well as the wreaths on the cannon ports, were gilded, the inside of the port shutters were painted fiery red, and the hull was white with two blue stripes. Peter I was very pleased with the ship: “Very beautiful, very well proportioned, of considerable artistry and very well built.” "Goto Predestination" was part of the Azov Fleet until 1711.


Scout Marseille


Balakhna, a Volga city in the Nizhny Novgorod province, became a shipbuilding center at the beginning of the 18th century. At its shipyards they built very durable seaworthy ships, which were intended for transporting fish products and other cargo on the Caspian Sea. The building material for the scouts was pine, spruce forest and partly Persian oak (temir-agach), or “iron wood”. Iron bolts and wooden dowels were used to fasten the ship's frame parts, and longitudinal beams more than 30 cm thick and 40 cm wide, which lined its flat bottom, were connected to each other with iron staples. This construction technology gave the scouts increased strength and durability: they served for 20-25 years. The ship was saddle-backed, clumsy and swaying in the waves. Its deck was covered with planks 6-7 cm thick. Under the poop there was a cabin for the pilot, and behind the mainmast there was a spacious kitchen with a Russian brick stove. The main dimensions of the topsail scoop: length 24.5-46 m, width 7 -11.3 m, hold depth - 3.7 -5.2 m, draft with cargo 3.6-4.9 m, load capacity 250-500 t Crew 12-18 people. There were two or three anchors on the rope, weighing from 400 kg to 1 ton, the length of the anchor hemp ropes was 200-250 m. The steering wheel was driven by a tiller using tiller handles. On these ships, as a rule, fore and main masts were installed, but when the hull length was more than 27.5 m, another one was installed - the rear, or cruising mast. The two-masted scoops had brig sailing rigs, and the three-masted ones had corvette rigging.

Cruising skit


Other fishing vessels that were built in the city of Balakhna for the Caspian Sea were cruising ships. Their design and construction method are similar to the design and construction technology of a topsail scoop. The difference was in dimensions and sailing equipment. The cruising scoop had a deck length of 17 - 24 m, a width of 5-6.7 m, a hold depth of 3.4-4.6 m and a cargo capacity of 120 - 250 tons. The first mast was called a large mast, and the rear one was called a cruising mast. It was much shorter than the front one. The masts were made of two trees, which were connected along the length by iron yokes. Both masts had gaffs. A trysail sail, called a mainsail, was attached to the gaff of the large mast. A mizzen sail was tied to the mizzen gaff. The bowsprit was solid, without a jib. The largest sail - the top - was tied to the top yard. On top of the sail of the masthead rose the top. The yard to which this sail was attached was called the top-yard. In front of the large mast there were slanting sails: a foresail and two jibs. The cruising mast had two yards: the lower one was the cruising yard and the upper one was the cruising yard. These yards were installed for decoration; they did not have sails. Two anchors weighing 250 and 750 kg with a hemp rope 200-250 m long provided reliable anchorage. The ship's crew is 10-14 people.

Frigate "Standart"


Already in the initial period, the Northern War convinced Peter I that it was impossible to achieve the conquest of the Baltic Sea coast with the help of one, even a well-trained army. It was decided to begin building a fleet. On March 24 (April 4), 1703, at the Olonets shipyard on the Svir River, the Amsterdam shipwright Vybe Goerens laid down the first Russian warship of the Baltic Fleet - a frigate. Its length is 27.5 m, width 7.3 m, average draft 2.7 m. Crew 120 people. On the closed deck, forecastle and poop the ship carried 28 guns: 8-, 6- and 3-pounders.

On May 1(12), 1703, Russian troops stormed the Swedish fortress of Nyenschanz, located near the mouth of the Neva. The path to the Baltic Sea was clear. In connection with this event, changes were made to the royal standard: the double-headed eagle now held in its paws and beaks not three, but four maps with the outlines of the White, Caspian, Azov and Baltic seas. Launched at the end of August 1703, the frigate received the name “Standard”, and on September 8 (19) of the same year, a new standard was raised on its main topmast. The ship under the command of Captain Peter Mikhailov (Peter I) crossed Lake Ladoga at the head of seven newly built ships and anchored in the roadstead of the Shlisselburg fortress. Subsequently, he took an active part in the Northern War. The frigate "Standard" was part of the Russian fleet for more than 25 years.

Half-gallera (scampavea)


The galley is a wooden rowing vessel created by the Venetians in the 7th century; it appeared in Russia under Peter I. During the capture of the Turkish fortress of Azov on June 19 (29), 1696, the Russian fleet included 23 two-masted galleys built “on the Dutch model.” The construction of galleys for the Baltic Fleet began at the Olonets shipyard founded in 1703, and from 1712 at the shipyard in St. Petersburg. Taking into account the specific features of the Baltic theater of military operations (skerries, shallow waters, unstable winds), Peter I created a skerry rowing fleet, the basis of which was half-galleys, or scampaways (Italian sampare - to disappear and via - away). They had a length of 36.6-39.6 m, a width of 4.8-5.5 m and a slight draft. These ships were one- and two-masted, with slanting sails, had up to 18 pairs of oars and could accommodate up to 200 people. Their armament consisted of three - six 12-pounder cannons and 16-20 basses (1-2-pounder falconets). Domestic galleys and scampaways were better suited for operations in coastal areas than large Swedish sailing ships. On July 27 (August 7), 1714, the Russian fleet consisting of 99 galleys and half-galleys under the command of Admiral General Count F. M. Apraksin (the vanguard was commanded by Peter 1) won the first major naval victory over the Swedes in the Battle of Gangut, and on July 27 (7 August) 1720, 66 rowing ships under the command of General M. M. Golitsyn won an equally glorious victory near Fr. Grengam.

Galley "Dvina"


The Dvina galley is the only 25-can (50-oar) three-masted ship in the Russian fleet. It was built according to the “Venetian style” by the ship’s apprentice I. Kalubnev under the supervision of the Venetian galley master Francesco Diponti, invited to Russia at the beginning of 1720. The ship received its name when launched on May 16 (27), 1721 in St. Petersburg at the Galernaya shipyard. The dimensions of the Dvina are not indicated in any of the documents, and its drawings have not been preserved. Judging by the dimensions of the model, the galley had a maximum length of 48.46 m and a maximum width with posts of 9.6 m. The artillery armament consisted of one 24-pounder cannon, two 12-pounders and twelve 3-pounders on the sides - a total of 15 guns.

Soldiers of the Preobrazhensky and Semenovsky regiments were assigned as rowers for the galley. Each oar was rowed by 5-6 soldiers, therefore, there were 250-300 rowers on the ship. Oar length 13.2 m, Weight 94 kg.


The Dvina did not take part in hostilities, but every year for several years it sailed into the Gulf of Finland for practical voyages.

A model of a galley, apparently made at the beginning of the 19th century, is in the Central Naval Museum in St. Petersburg.

Battleship "Ingermanland"


The design and drawings of the two-deck, 64-gun battleship Ingermanland were developed by Peter I. Construction was carried out under the leadership of the talented craftsman R. Kozeits. On May 1(12), 1715, the ship was launched. It was named after the Swedish name for the Izhora land of Ingria. It was one of the best ships of its time. Its length was 46 m, width 12.8 m, average draft 5.5 m. It had improved sailing rigs; for the first time in domestic practice, third-tier sails - topsails - appeared on its high foremasts and mainmasts. The ship was distinguished by good seaworthiness and had powerful artillery weapons for those times. There were twenty-four 30-pound guns on the lower deck (gondeck), the same number of 16-pounders on the upper deck (oper deck), fourteen 14-pounders on the quarterdeck, and two 2-pounders on the forecastle (forecastle). For a number of years, Ingermanland remained the flagship of the Baltic Fleet. Participating in the campaigns of 1715, 1718, 1719 and 1721, he sailed under the flag of Vice Admiral Peter Mikhailov (Peter I), and in the campaign of 1716 under the standard of the sovereign, who commanded the united Anglo-Dutch-Danish-Russian fleet in the war with Sweden. “Ingermanland” was the favorite brainchild of Peter I. The Tsar ordered to “keep the ship for memory,” but in 1735, while permanently moored in Kronstadt harbor, “Ingermanland” sank during a severe flood.

Packet boat "St. Peter"


By the end of the summer of 1740, two packet boats were built in Okhotsk under the leadership of shipwrights Kozmin and Rogachev - “St. Peter" and "St. Pavel", which were intended for research of the northern part of the Pacific Ocean under the program of the Great Northern, or Second Kamchatka, expedition. These were fourteen-gun, single-deck, two-masted ships with brig sailing rigs and good seaworthiness. The length of the packet boat is 24.4 m, width 6.7 m, draft 2.9 m, displacement over 200 tons, crew 75 people.

At the beginning of September the ships set sail. On the flagship packet boat "St. Peter” was the leader of the expedition, Commander V. Bering. "St. Pavel" was commanded by an experienced sailor, Lieutenant A. Chirikov. In October, the expedition arrived in Avachinskaya Bay and stopped for the winter in the bay, which Bering named Petropavlovskaya in honor of the packet boats. Later, the city founded here was named Petropavlovsk.

In June 1741, ships headed southeast to search for the shores of America. During the storm they lost each other and then acted separately. A. Chirikov became the discoverer of the North-West coast of America and the Aleutian Islands. In October, his packet boat returned safely to Avacha Bay. "St. Peter" on the way back to Kamchatka approached an unknown island (now Bering Island). Here on December 8 (19), 1741, V. Bering died. When approaching the island, the packet boat received heavy damage and was dismantled. From its parts, the crew built a small ship, on which they reached Kamchatka in the summer of 1742.

Battleship "Eustathius"


The ship was built in 1762 at the shipyard of the Main Admiralty in St. Petersburg by shipwright Ulf. Its length was 47.5 m, width 14.5 m, hold depth 5.8 m, and it was armed with sixty-six 36- and 18-pounder guns.

In mid-July 1769, a Russian squadron under the command of Admiral G. A. Spiridov (1st Archipelago Expedition) set out from Kronstadt for the Mediterranean Sea. The admiral held his flag on the Eustathia. On June 24 (July 5), 1770, the squadron discovered the main forces of the Turkish fleet in the Chios Strait (in the Aegean Sea) and, on the move, in a wake column from a short distance (50-70 m), attacked its vanguard and part of the center. The Eustathius found itself in the hottest fire: during a desperate boarding battle, a fire started on the flagship Turkish ship Real Mustafa, and its burning mainmast fell on the Russian flagship. When Spiridov became convinced that it was impossible to save the Eustathius, he transferred his flag to the battleship Three Saints. Soon “Eustathius” exploded, and after it “Real-Mustafa” took off. The explosion of both ships and hurricane fire from Russian naval artillery caused panic on enemy ships. They retreated hastily and in disarray to Chesme Bay, where they were blocked by a Russian squadron. At the military council on June 25 (July 6), the commander-in-chief of the Russian naval and ground forces in the Archipelago (in the Ionian Sea), Count A. G. Orlov, adopted G. A. Spiridov’s plan to destroy Turkish ships with a combined strike of naval artillery and fire ships.

Battleship "Three Hierarchs"


The battleship “Three Hierarchs” was built in 1766 in St. Petersburg at the shipyard of the Main Admiralty according to the design of the experienced naval engineer Lambe Yames and was named in honor of the bishop-theologians of the first centuries of Christianity, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom. The length of the vessel is 47.4 m, width 12.5 m, hold depth 5.5 m. The armament consisted of sixty-six guns. The perfect shape of the ship's hull was harmoniously combined with beautiful decor. The figurehead was a warrior in Roman robes. The stern was decorated with a composition of four figures of nymphs and caryatids, interconnected by curls of intricate ornamentation. The entire elegant high relief was gilded and looked good against the background of the blue lattice of the balcony. During the Russian-Turkish War of 1768-1774, the ship as part of the squadron of Admiral G. A. Spiridov took part in the Chios and then Chesme naval battles on June 24-26 (July 5-7), 1770. Under the command of Captain Brigadier S. K. Greig, he fought fearlessly at very close range from the enemy and inflicted considerable damage on him, although he himself received serious damage. On the ship “Three Hierarchs” the Kaiser flag was held by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian naval and ground forces in the Archipelago, Chief General Count A.G. Orlov, who received the title of Chesmensky for his unprecedented victory in the Battle of Chesme. S.K. Greig was awarded the rank of rear admiral.

GALLEYS

Viktor Sergeevich Shitarev,
sea ​​captain

This type of sailing-rowing vessel traces its “ancestry” to the ships of ancient antiquity from the Mediterranean countries. Its development continued until the beginning of the 19th century. The galleys' "finest hour" came at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571, when 200 Christian galleys fought with 273 Turkish ones. Then the Christian fleet under the command of John of Austria completely defeated the enemy and liberated the eastern Mediterranean from Turkish rule. Galleys were military vessels and were the main striking force of the fleets of some coastal states. For example, in 1700 Venice had about 200 galleys and galleasses; in 1800, the French Mediterranean fleet consisted of 40 such ships. In the 18th century preference was given to 30-can galleys with a length of 60 m.

The first 16-can galley in Russia was built in the 60s of the 17th century. Dutch master D. Butler to protect merchant shipping on the Volga. In the era of Peter I, the construction of a galley fleet became widespread, while in European countries interest in this type of military vessels had already begun to fade. Peter I, with his characteristic foresight, appreciated the positive qualities of galleys - their shallow draft, the ability to row regardless of wind direction, and good armament made them indispensable in shallow water at the mouths of the Don and other rivers, in the Sea of ​​Azov and in other theaters of combat. . The simplicity of the design was also captivating, which was especially valuable in the early days of creating the mighty Russian Fleet.

Beginning preparations for the second Azov campaign, Peter I paid great attention to the construction of a galley fleet. The 16-can galley "Admiral Lefort" ordered in Holland served as a model for Russian shipbuilders. It was delivered disassembled in 1694 to Moscow and assembled by the spring of 1696 in the village of Preobrazhenskoye near Moscow. (The vessel had a length of 38.1 m; width - 9.1 m; draft - 1.8 m). There they also established the production of galley parts, which were then sent to Voronezh. The matter was in dispute and by April 1696 the Azov fleet had a formation of galleys in the amount of 23 pennants, each of which was armed with three cannons of 3...5 pound caliber. The Principium gallery was commanded by Pyotr Alekseevich himself. During the siege of Azov in June 1696, the galley fleet showed itself very positively. Voronezh becomes the center for the construction of the Russian galley fleet.

There, in 1697, 17 galleys were laid down at once. Significantly improved by Russian craftsmen, they were more powerful than their Dutch predecessor. For comparison, here are their measurements: length 41.7...53 m; width 5.5...7.3 m; the depth of the interior is 1.8 ... 2.7 m. Mostly 20- and 24-gun galleys were built, armed with 21 - 27 cannons, three of them 6 - 12-pound caliber; the rest are falconets. The Baltic also turned out to be an ideal theater of combat for the galley fleet - skerries, shallow waters, etc. The importance of galleys in the Northern War is very high. Having made an ice campaign to Vyborg in 1710, the galley fleet took an active part in the siege of the fortress, which greatly contributed to the success of the Russian army.

The day of glory of the Russian galley fleet came on July 27, 1714, when 99 galleys under the command of Admiral General F.M. Apraksin won the first and convincing victory over the Swedish fleet in the Battle of Gangut. Taking advantage of the calm weather (in full view of the Swedish squadron), a detachment of 23 scampaveys under the command of Schoutbenacht Peter Mikhailov bypassed the Gangut Peninsula and ended up in Rilaks Fjord. After a three-hour battle, the Russians defeated a detachment of ships from Schoutbenacht Ehrenschild, capturing the 18-gun frigate Elephant, six galleys and three skerries. Galleys were successfully used as landing craft and took part in all landing operations of the Russian fleet in the period 1714 - 1720.

Another brilliant victory of the Russian galley fleet was won under the command of Prince M.M. Golitsyn on July 27, 1720 near the island of Grengam. On the Russian side, 61 galleys took part in the battle; they forced the Swedish fleet to withdraw to the cramped sea area and there they imposed their naval combat tactics on it. Four Swedish frigates were boarded and their flags lowered. 10,714 sailors took part in the battle on board the galleys, 23,970 cannon shots were fired at the Swedish ships, rich trophies were taken, including 104 guns that were armed with the Swedish frigates.

The construction of galleys for the Baltic Fleet began in February 1703 at the Olonets shipyard, on the banks of the Svir River, in Lodeynoye Pole. The governor of Ingria, a ship's apprentice, Alexander Danilovich Menshikov, paid a lot of attention to the formation of the Baltic Fleet, who, with an ax in his hands, learned the basics of shipbuilding at Dutch and English shipyards together with Pyotr Mikhailov. And, if Peter I was awarded a “shipmaster” patent for his success in teaching shipbuilding sciences, then Alexander Danilovich, unlike his comrades who studied with Peter I, who also received “shipmasters” patents, asked to be awarded a “shipmaster” patent apprentice" because he considered that the son of the royal groom, whom he was, was not worthy of the patent issued to the Sovereign. However, he was a very extraordinary man and his authority among shipbuilders, both domestic and foreign, was extremely high. And it must be said that in all respects A.D. Menshikov found the most rational, correct solutions.

Pyotr Alekseevich himself did not let shipbuilding in Lodeynoye Pole out of his sight. The construction of galleys was also established in St. Petersburg at the Galerny Yard, where the new Admiralty subsequently arose. The class of galleys, as combat units of the fleet, did not have a clear division by type, but some division still existed. For example, we know that on October 1, 1703, at the Olonets shipyard, master Yakov Kol laid down thirteen 10 - 12 can half-galleys. All of them were single-masted, 17.4 m long, 3.1 m wide, with posts - beams carried overboard, attached to special brackets - bucklers, with pin oarlocks - scarms.

Banks - seats for rowers - on Russian galleys were not placed perpendicular to the side, but at an angle of 81...82 degrees with an inclination towards the stern, according to the “scalocchio” system. “Steps” were made at each can so that the rowers could rest their feet on them. In Russia, soldiers of infantry regiments, civilians from among the “working people,” served as oarsmen in the galley fleet; among them there were also convicts, who were chained by their left legs to the steps. In addition to the rowers on each galley, depending on its size, there were 24 - 40 sailors, 9 - 14 officers and non-commissioned officers and 125 - 150 marines - the boarding team. Thus, the crew of the galley ranged from 150 to 500 people.

Among the gallery masters, Yuri Rusinov and Nikolai Muts, Greeks by nationality, were famous. With the advent of galleys, the vocabulary of Russian sailors was enriched with new terms. For example, a surface ram protruding forward from the stem was called a spiron; the superstructure covering the bow guns is the rambat; a light canopy at the stern of the galley - a tentalet. From the rambat to the tendalet, in the center plane of the ship there was a platform (between the banks of the rowers), called a curonian, and the guns located on it were called curonian. Under the Curonian there were various lockers. The foremast was called a trinket; mainmast - maistra; and the mizzen mast is a mezzanine.

When mentioning half-galleys, one cannot fail to mention one more type of these ships. This is, of course, a xebec, which received recognition from the pirates of North Africa, as it had good sailing speed. She had no equal in the Mediterranean. Shebeka had a deck length of 25...35 m and a developed sail of the lateen type. All three masts had triangular sails, but if the wind was favorable, the ship could also carry straight sails. One of the Algerian captains of the xebec said that his sailors do the work of three crews of a square-rigged vessel. With a slight jibe, yards with wide straight sails were installed on the foremast and mainmast. When sailing halfwind and close-hauled, straight sails were removed along with the yards, and long Latin ryu with triangular sails were installed in their place. If the wind increased to the point of a storm, then the long ryu with large sails was removed, and in their place short ryu, which carried small triangular sails, were put in place.

The bulk of the Russian galley fleet were medium galleys, they were called scampaways, they were 18-can (they had 18 cans). There were a few large galleys built according to the “French style”, which, as a rule, were used as flagships. For example, Admiral General F.M. Apraksin flew his flag on the 21-can galley "Natalya", built at the Olonets shipyard by Nikolai Muts in 1708. Its deck length was 53.3 m; width 7.6 m; interior depth 2.6 m; draft 1.2 m. The galley was armed with one 24-pound Curonian and two 12-pound running guns, and there were also 12 “bass on swivels” (here we are talking about 12 falconets). Each oar, 12 m long and weighing 80 kg, was “moved” by 5 people.

Prince M.M. Golitsyn flew his flag on the 22-can and 15-gun galley "Fivra", built in 1713 - 1714. the famous shipwright Yuri Antonovich Rusinov, and we already know how the Grengam battle ended. This galley had a length of 45 m, a width of 7.7 m. On banks 2.4 m long there were 5 oarsmen, who rowed with oars 12 m long and weighing about 80 kg. The Fivre had one 18-pounder, two 12-pounder and twelve 3-pounder guns (bass). The galley served until 1723, after which it was excluded from the lists of the fleet and dismantled.

The largest galley of the Peter the Great era is considered to be the 25-can three-masted "Dvina", built by the Italian shipwright Francesco Diponti according to the "Venetian style" in St. Petersburg in 1721. Its length was about 48.5 m, width with posts - 9.6 m, the oars had a length of 13.2 m and a mass of about 94 kg; 6 people rowed with each oar. The Dvina's armament consisted of one 24-pounder, two 12-pounder guns and twelve 3-pounder basses.

The so-called “horse galleys” also took part in the Northern War. These were purely landing ships, taking on board 25 - 40 horses with riders. They had a length of up to 42 m, a width of up to 10 m and a draft of up to 1.4 m. Their armament consisted of two 6-pounder and two 3-pounder guns. The last one built in Russia was a 21-bar horse-drawn galley in 1722 by master Francesco Diponti; which took 40 horses on board. The last 10-can galley for the Baltic Navy was launched in St. Petersburg in 1789, and for the Black Sea Fleet in Tavrov in 1790.

But galleys in Russia were built not only for the navy. For example, in 1767, Kostroma shipbuilders built the 11-can galley "Tver" in Tver for the journey of Empress Catherine II along the Volga. It was a beautiful ship in all respects; it was not for nothing that Catherine II approved the coat of arms of the city of Kostroma with the image of the Tver galley on it. This is what the Danish envoy to Russia Asseburg wrote about the ship: “... There is no shortage of any of the three amenities that could only be had in the capital. On Her Majesty's galley, called "Tver", there is a complete room with a room like a hall, where she freely dines with twelve interlocutors".

Catherine II undertook this trip to get acquainted with the southeastern provinces of Russia. A flotilla of ten ships led by the Tver departed down the Volga River on May 2, 1767. It included three Tver-class galleys (to accommodate the royal retinue), but their decoration was more modest. The royal galley had a length of 39 m, a hull width of 5.75 m, a width with posts of 7.65 m, a freeboard height at the bow of 1 m, at the stern superstructure - 1.9 m, the elevation of the stern above the main plane was 7 m. The ship It was built from local wood and richly decorated with carvings and gilding. The four-meter spire of an openwork design was organically combined with the stem. The hull had a slight camber of the sides, the deck was made of especially high-quality pine boards.

The hull of the Tver galley was assembled so well that when examined 150 years after construction, only minor cracks from drying out were found in some of the boards. The grooves and joints of the hull and deck plating boards were fitted so carefully that they did not even require caulking; the plating was only painted dark green. Even traditional tarring was not required. The body parts were fastened with iron bolts and long nails (pin nails). The aft superstructure, counting from the transom, had a length of 15 m and a width of 5.3 m (at the transom), which increased towards the bow to 6 m. The superstructure housed the rest and reception apartments - spacious and bright rooms, decorated with special splendor, as well as eight cabins; all premises were allocated for Catherine II. In total, the superstructure had 34 windows with frames and window sashes (which could be lowered into special grooves), as well as four doors, one on each side, and two, carried to the sides, in the bow bulkhead. At the transom on the superstructure deck there was a flagpole and a socket for a lantern (taillight).

On the deck - from bow to stern there were three passages 1.1 m wide; one in the center plane and two on the sides. Between them there were two cockpits 12 m long and with a recess of 0.5 m in relation to the main deck. There were banks for rowers. On the deck of the bow superstructure there were foundations for eight guns intended for fireworks. The hold housed cabins for the royal retinue, illuminated by eight rectangular windows.

On July 1, 1767, the royal family arrived in Kazan, then, having completed the official part, headed to Simbirsk, from where Catherine II left for Moscow by land. After the empress's departure, four royal galleys returned to Kazan, where they were placed in storage at the local admiralty. In 1804, a decree came from St. Petersburg, which ordered the three galleys to be dismantled “due to disrepair”, and the Tver galley to be stored, “ without changing the appearance it had"When the Kazan Admiralty was abolished, "Tver" was transferred for storage to the Maritime Ministry, then to the State Property Administration, then - in the early 60s of the 19th century - to the Kazan City Public Administration.

In 1888, on the outskirts of the Admiralteyskaya Sloboda, a special pavilion was built - a boathouse, in which the Tver galley was installed. In 1918, it came under the jurisdiction of the museum department of the People's Commissariat for Education, and then the Tatar Republican Museum of Local Lore. This is what the famous Kazan art critic P.E. Kornilov wrote in his monograph about the galley: "... for those who study art and, in particular, wooden carvings, there is some interesting material on the Tver galley. The decorative treatment attracts attention. The subjects of the carvings are mythological scenes personifying the water element... There is a curious national moment in this carving... The decorative decorations of the galley, without a doubt , are an example of the high skill of Russian woodcarvers".

Today, with great regret, we have to admit that this priceless monument of Russian shipbuilding art has been irretrievably lost by us. At the end of the 1960s, a fire destroyed both the pavilion and the galley...
