A memorial sign was installed in A St. Petersburg, devoted to the Russian shipbuilders who performed their professional duties in the years of the Revolution and the Civil War. Russia is a great maritime power, and its history over the past several centuries is connected to the sea, shipbuilding and the fleet. It is no wonder that we celebrate the Shipbuilder’s Day on June 29. On that day in 1667 a decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich was issued on the construction of the ‘Orel’ ship in the village of Dedinovo on the Oka river. De facto, it was the first documented state order of a combat ship. The historians of shipbuilding interpret this event differently. For instance, the five-volume ‘History of the domestic shipbuilding’ under the editorship of Igor Spasskiy, a member of the Academy of Sciences, says that in line with the tsar’s decree, in June 1667, “near the tsar’s village of Dedinovo of the Kolomna district, a shipbuilding facility was established for the construction of the Russian combat fleet. The fleet was under creation in order to protect navigation on the Volga river and in the Caspian Sea. Of course, a hypothesis on the plans of Alexei Mikhailovich to build an entire fleet needs further justification. But it is quite reasonable to take the count of the Russian state shipbuilding history from that decree. Just in tens of years later a real construction of the Russian fleet began. On 30 October 1696, under the rule of the son of Alexei Mikhailovich – Peter the First, the Boyar Duma took its famous ‘The sea ships to exist!’ decision. It is documented that Peter knew the history of the ‘Orel’ quite well, and counted the history of the seamanship from it. In the preface to the Naval History goes on Charter of 1720 he wrote: “Though the father’s intention has not been in 2017, for the first time since long ago, a close logically concluded, it is worth a lifelong cooperation between the shipbuilders and historians glorification, as the current seamanship got its roots from that initiative as from a was established. the history of shipbuilding is one good seed.” of the important pages in the history of russia as To commemorate the first Russian combat ship and, in fact, his father a great maritime power as well, Peter the First built the Trinity Church in Dedinvo.
