Voyage review of Kruzenshtern, Russian tall ship. On January 12, 1946 she was given to the USSR to be integrated into the Soviet Baltic Fleet. She was moored in Kronstadt harbour until 1961 where she underwent major repairs and a refit (e. g. the installation of her first engines) for her missions under leadership of the Hydrographic Department of the Soviet Navy. From 1961 to 1965 the ship performed many hydrographic and oceanographical surveys for the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in the Atlantic ocean, the Caribbean, and Mediterranean, and was used as a training vessel for naval cadets. In 1965 she was transferred to the USSR Ministry of Fisheries in Riga to be used as a schoolship for future fishery officers. From 1968-72 a major modernisation took place, installing her current set of engines and applying her current hull paint - black with a wide white stripe including black 'portholes' which from a distance look just like real gunports. The painting (by the Soviet owners) on the side suggests the presence of cannons, but that is just an illusion . The tall ship "Kruzenshtern" arrives at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Friday morning (07-03-09). The Kruzenshtern is a 376-foot in length, four-masted barque rig, and the second largest traditional sail training vessel in the world still in operation. The Academy will host the Class A vessel from July 3-6th. The public is invited to tour the ship during her visit to the Buzzards Bay campus. Hours for free public boarding will be on July 3-5 from 12:00-5:00. Kruzenshtern (Wallpaper 2). 2. Wallpaper gallery of Kruzenshtern, Russian tall ship. 2.
