Buy the ship of the 12 apostles. Russian sailing warship "Twelve Apostles" (12 apostles)

The sailing ship "Twelve Apostles" is the largest Russian sailing ship. It was laid down at the Nikolaev shipyard in 1838, and launched and accepted into the fleet in July 1841. Construction took place under the supervision of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, M.P. Lazarev. , and S.I. Chernyavsky supervised all construction robots. , who, at one time, went through an excellent school at the British Portsmouth Admiralty. He also determined the materials from which the ship would be built, as a result of which, even after 10 years, the ship looked excellent, despite the fact that the life ceiling of other ships was calculated at eight years.

« Twelve Apostles"refers to 120-gun ships of rank I, but in fact there were 130 guns on board. Here it is worth paying attention to a very important point: from this arsenal, 36 guns were 68-pound bomb guns, which were located on the ship’s gondeck (lower battery deck). They fired explosive shells and caused incredible damage to the hulls of wooden ships. Subsequently, it was they who became fatal in the fate of the entire world sailing fleet.

Captain Kornilov, the first captain of the “Twelve Apostles,” described him with the following words: “So good that it’s hard to do better.” The interior of the ship was not inferior to its superior strength. The officers compared it to the luxury of imperial ships: the captain's and admiral's cabins were decorated with mahogany, the wardroom had a beautiful marble fireplace, and the officers' cabins had fans that were used as air purifiers. The bow of the ship was decorated with a gilded double-headed eagle.

Before the start of the Crimean War, while in Sevastopol, the captain of the ship was given an order to transfer one and a half thousand soldiers to the Caucasus. After completing the task, due to overloads, a leak arose on the sailing ship, which prevented it from taking part in the Battle of Sinop on November 18, 1853. But two other ships took part in it, which were improved models of the “Twelve Apostles” - the ships “Paris” and “Grand Duke Constantine”. On February 13, 1855, the sailing ship "Twelve Apostles", along with its Black Sea brothers, was sunk at the entrance to the bay of Sevastopol, preventing the enemies from getting there.

The ship "The Twelve Apostles" is ingeniously depicted and glorified forever in the works of the Russian marine painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. His feat in the defense of Sevastopol in 1855 will never be forgotten. It was in this battle that it was sunk. Already after the war (this happened in 1861), the authorities tried to lift the ship. It didn’t work out - it had to be blown up.

Ship "Twelve Apostles" model

The construction of a combat ship of the line was carried out in St. Petersburg - at the Nikolaev shipyards. The ship was launched with “great fanfare” in 1841. Six years before this momentous event, the Russian Emperor Nicholas I personally approved the construction of 3 similar ships, the first of which was the Twelve Apostles that left the stocks. The other two - "Paris" and "Grand Duke Konstantin" - became part of the Black Sea Fleet in 1849 and 1852, respectively.

"Paris"

The construction of the heroic sailboat took place with the direct participation of the legendary Russian Admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet and the great navigator who was the first to discover Antarctica. The great naval commander gave instructions to the shipbuilders at all stages of the construction of the ship. He personally supervised the selection of timber for the manufacture of the body. The highest quality building materials were selected. Technologies are the most advanced. As a result, the vessel's service life was significantly extended. From reliable documentary sources it is clear that even after 10 years, the combat sailing ship was in excellent technical condition. According to the standards of that time, the service life of similar watercraft was no more than 8 years.

The ship's design was developed by Oliver Lang. This happened in 1833. Its essence lay in the peculiarities of the construction of the keel, which was double-rowed:

The top row is connected with an overlay with horizontal locks.
The bottom row is connected with vertical tenon locks.

The highest quality oak trees were used to make the keel. Below it was a false keel, specially weakened in contact with the main keel, which made it possible to protect the ship in case of a strong impact. The ship was also equipped with a state-of-the-art bilge fastening system. For the first time, an elliptical stern was used on a sailing ship.

The Twelve Apostles was a three-masted sailing ship with a displacement of 4,790 tons. The ship's crew numbered 1000 people. They included 12 officers and 65 non-commissioned officers. The speed corresponded to the combat missions of the sea vessel - 12 knots (translated into the metric system - 22.2 km. hour). The total area of the sails was about 4.0 thousand square meters. The length of the ship along the deck, where the military artillery is located, is 64.4 m. The width is 18.1 m. It was calculated based on the section of the ship’s hull - the midship frame.

In the mid-19th century, the term "120 gun ship" existed. They were called battleships of the 1st rank. The Twelve Apostles was equipped with 130 military guns. Moreover, 28 of them were new bomb guns for that time (initially there were 32 units on the ship) - 68-pounders. They were installed on the lower deck, intended for guns. It also housed 4 long-barreled guns. The guns on a combat sailing ship could fire not only bombs, but also cannonballs. In addition, the ship also had 92 smoothbore cannons - carronades. A similar model of a weapon was borrowed from the British, who invented it at the end of the 18th century. They settled down.
