Catherine’s Glory Ship of the Line

In 1778, the new Kherson shipyard equipped with the slipways that were used for building ships and frigates was founded at the mouth of the Dnieper River. In the spring of 1779, the construction of the 66-gun ship of the line “Catherine’s Glory” was started. Four years later, in 1783, it was launched from the slipways of the Kherson shipyard.

During the years of operation of the Kherson Admiralty, which was in 1778-1827 one of the major centers of shipbuilding on the south of Russia, 34 ships of the line and 16 frigates were launched from its slipways.
