Title: Paddle steamer St. Nicholas. Russia Krasnoyarsk.
Post by: Wizard on February 21, 2011, 01:14:14 AM

I would like to introduce you paddle steamer that has been preserved in Russia. It's called - St. Nicholas. The steamer went on the Yenisei River in the early 19 th century. Today it is a monument - museum. This is the only extant in Russian ship of this class.

Here are a few photos

Wonderful photos.  I suspect that this boat hasn't appeared in Paddleducks before.  There is a Niklaus which flashes by on the opening page from time to time, but it isn't this one?

I have been through Krasnoyarsk twice, but didn't leave the train for a stopover.

For a few years, member Bill Worden tried to arrange a cruise on the paddlesteamer which cruises from Yakutsk, but received little information or help from the locals.  I am waiting for the railway to be completed before I go privately.  The road is horrible, but it is possible to fly in.
There are several references in Paddleducks to that boat and others of the class.

Thank you for your interest in my humble publication on this forum.
I have not seen this boat on your website, so I decided to publish the photo.
In Krasnoyarsk from England is better to fly on an airplane. The best time - this summer. Winter is very cold in Siberia, about -35 degrees Celsius.
I have a lot of detailed photos and drawings of this ship. If you are interested I published.  :)

Yes please for the extra material.
The boat has appeared in an earlier Russia thread
www.paddleducks.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2491.msg9471#msg9471
with the transliteration Nikolay (or Nikolai), ie Nicholas in English.
I was getting all of the letters, up to the last two.

All of my Russia trips to date have been in mid winter, as my long holiday came in the Australian summer.  I have mastered 'vino kraznaye proshe'.

Thanks Derek!

The next time I'll try to get into the engine room and photograph the steam engine in more detail.

To continue, I need to use scanners to make copies of original drawings.

One of the photos in the ice show her sitting on concrete blocks. Is she permanently attached to them or does she float?

Vladimir, many thanks for sharing your photos and drawings of the St Nikolai. I had thought that at some point I might try a model of Derzhava but the photos of St Nick are a very big plus for accuracy and reality.

I know nothing about it.

These boats of russian rivers are very interesting, not very much is known about them in the western part of the world. A friend of mine was showing me some pictures of sternwheelers on russian rivers - the construction was close to Ohio river boats. In the first sight one would imagine "American river steamers". I will see about some pictures.
