Lyric Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hello guys, Just found this ship whilst on holiday in St Petersburg, Russia. I think it's actually a restaurant now but I wondered whether it was a replica of a real ship. I struggled to count the ports but it looks to be of a similar size to the hms victory.

SteelSandwich Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Could you add an image? It would help with identifying the ship IIRC they are making a replica of the Poltava, or i think atleast that was her name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty_Alex Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'ts a restaurant, called "Blagodat" (God's Grace), based on a russian 130-gun ship of the line with the same name. http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=10543 How true it's built to the original, it's hard to say. Probably, not very... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvenski Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was wondering that as well. She actually looks rather pretty to me. I'm guessing that the problem is that she's very low in the water (her lower gun deck ports are very close to the waterline), but I don't really know.

Fluffy Fishy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty sure its a fairly standard river bus. They have them in London and Amsterdam too.The ship behind it is a bit ugly though, looks like it has close to 120 guns. My guess would be a replica of one of these: VarshavaTri Svyatitelya RossiaДвенадцать АпостоловDvenadtsat Apostolov Parizh Velikii Knyaz Konstantin Edited July 24, 2016 by Fluffy Fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty_Alex Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 The real "Blagodat" wasn't ugly at all and looked like this: (contemporary image) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle Champion Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Nothing abominable about Blagodat herself - not an especially distinguished career, mainly used as a troop carrier and an abortive battle with the Brits and Swedes. The rigging in the picture is curious, though - the loose-footed spanker and the old-fashioned full length spar to control it, the two spritsails, while having topgallants and royals on every masts. Her armament was: Main gun deck - 26x36-pounders and 4x40 pounder (1-pood) edinorog/howitzers. Middle gun deck - 28x24 pounders and 4x20-pounder (1/2 pood) edinorog. Upper gun deck - 32x12 pounders. Upper works - 24x8 pounders and 12x3 pounders. Her howitzers were not like carronades - they had full trunnion and carriage mounts and were nearly as heavy as cannons. The ship on the river is a restaurant, not a replica. Straight sides and a flared-in, super-shallow main gun deck, extraneous deck houses, the open balconies at the stern galleries complete with a pillar that's 99% sure to be steel give the game away; it could be worse - it could be the Queen Anne's Revenge from POTC.
