As part of the exhibition program, the company will present a project for the reconstruction of the Poltava ship in the Passage of the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Shipyard of historical shipbuilding "Poltava" is a unique enterprise where the first linear ship of the Baltic Fleet is being recreated — the 54-gun battle ship of the 4th rank "Poltava". The ship was launched in 1712 from the berth of the St. Petersburg Admiralty. Emperor Peter I took part in the construction and design of Poltava. The replica of the Poltava ship was built in the shipyard in 2013. The aim of the project is to revive and preserve the historical traditions of wooden shipbuilding for future generations. The ship "Poltava" will become the centre of the museum complex dedicated to the maritime history of Russia. The shipyard has been running a tour centre since 2014. Up until the present moment, more than 60 thousand people have visited the ship under construction. The idea of reconstruction of the ship "Poltava" was conceived by Gazprom.
