In the April 1836 edition of the The Sailors’ Magazine (p. 2481) is a small account published dealing the Russian naval shipbuilding using as source a news item published in ‘the London paper’. “A letter from St. Petersburgh, dated the 30th ultimo, announces that since the Emperor’s return the greatest activity prevailed among the members of the Russian diplomacy. The Emperor personally attends most particularly to the navy. He is continually sending tom inspect and press the execution of orders transmitted by him to Cronstadt, Revel, and Abe. Much bustle is also observed in the dockyards of Ochta and St. Petersburgh. It is calculated that he will shortly have in the Baltic seven or eight ships of the line, five of six frigates, and about ten smaller vessels”.
