Oryol (Orel)

Post by shipstamps » Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:30 pm


This 4k. stamp shows the Oryol. the first warship to be built in Russia, although she has also been described as a yacht. Peter the Great's nautical procedure was not entirely without precedent to guide him, for as far back as Tsar Michael's time, Dutch and English shipwrights had migrated first to Archangel, and then to Voronezh, where the building of flat-bottomed boats became a thriving business.
Tsar Alexis, Peter's father, employed some of them to build for him the craft shown on the stamp. She was built in 1668, but was destroyed by the insurgent Cossacks in 1671, during the revolt of Stenka Razin. One of his shipwrights engaged in her construction was Karsten Brant, whose name is so closely associated with Peter's first essays in shipbuilding. The vessel seems to have been armed with 22 guns.

The Admiralty building is one of the masterpieces of Saint-Petersburg architecture, the monument of Russian classicism. The ship on its steeple is one of the symbols of the city along with the Copper Rideman and Palace Bridge.
It is supposed that the prototype of the ship is the first Russian vessel – frigate ORYOL (“Eagle”), built according to the order of tsar Alexey Mikhailovich in 1667-1669.

Russian shipbuilding can be traced back to 1667, when Tsar Alexis signed a ukase to build ships. The construction of the country’s first gun frigate began the very same date with the aim to ensure safety of merchant navigation in the Caspian Sea. Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin, an outstanding Russian diplomat and reform advocate, oversaw the construction. The frigate was named in honor of the state coat of arms.

The first state dockyard was laid down in the village of Dedinovo at the Oka River. The place for the dockyard was chosen for a good reason. This part of Oka was the widest, and the village vicinity was rich in ship timber. The local people were famous for their boats and barges.

The first Russian double-decked, three-mast Oryol-class warship was floated out on May 19, 1669. Her length was 25 m, width — 6.5 m, draft — 1.5 m. She was fully outfitted with armaments in Nizhny Novgorod receiving 22 cannons that shot cast-iron 37–57 mm balls. A Dutch David Butler was appointed the vessel’s captain. Oryol sailed only once; the voyage was interrupted by the Cossack rebellion of Stepan Razin.
