The launching of the Russian 3-decker Peter I in 1829 according to the Dutch newspaper Zierikzeesche Courant dated 2 June 1829

At St. Petersburg was 16 May at the large admiralty yard the 110-gun ship of the Line Peter I launched. Her captain was to be Awinowzo, one of the heroes of the battle at Navarino. The spelling of the names is in Dutch; I didnt try to translate them in to the Russian equivalent.
