[Mr.Deep]

Today is Shipbuilder's Day in Russia. The date was chosen because on this day in 1667, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich issued a decree on the construction of the first Russian ship, the frigate "Oрел"(Eagle) According to archival records, this was the first Russian warship built by government order and at government expense.

с днём рождения!

 

[Mr.Deep]

On the eve of the holiday, the Day of the Russian Navy, I decided to raise the flags on Poltava. The rigging is almost complete. All that remains is to fasten a few coils of rope.

 

[Mr.Deep]

Peter the Great said, "Let there be small ships!" I obeyed.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I've carved the keel blocks for Poltava. I've placed them on the pedestal. I've tried on the model. I've almost finished with the ropes. I've placed the boat in its place.

[Mr.Deep]

I hung the steering wheel. I put nails in the hinges. By the way, here's a life hack. You can use good nails from the legs of old processors from the company. Heat the processor on gas, tap it lightly, and the legs will fall off.

 

[Mr.Deep]

I set up the relieving tackle and the rudder pendant)
