Sea romance
in ancient and modern numismatics

People enjoy collecting. They collect interesting things to later show to friends or leave as an inheritance to their children. Any collection is a value in itself, and a collection of old coins is real wealth. This rarity increases in price every year. Therefore, there are more and more people who like to BUY ANCIENT COINS.

When did money with images of ships appear?
Ships have been printed on coins for a long time. At the moment, there are just under 900 different coins in the world depicting various ships and marine paraphernalia. Russia, Portugal and Cuba are countries that quite often print profiles of battleships and yachts on coins.
Britain rarely prints coins featuring its ships, despite being considered a great maritime power. The last coin was minted in London in 2015. The £2 WWI Battleship Battleship is one of Britain's most valuable commemorative coins.
Modern coins often feature an entire image of the ship, but previously this was only the stern part of the ship. Today this fact has a completely different meaning. For example, images of specific battleships are depicted on coins if they played a special role in the history of the country.

What is depicted on coins
There is a legend that says that a full image of a ship should not be printed on a coin as this may affect its success. The first complete image of a ship on a coin supposedly appeared in Phenicia. Until now, many collectors are looking for and want to BUY GOLD COINS of Phoenician traders. The image of ships on them is a reflection of the symbol of trade and travel to other countries.
This idea can also be seen on modern coins. As for modern coins, the semantic ideas of the images are also preserved here, but this symbolism is interpreted completely differently. For example, nowadays the ship is presented not only as a symbol of trade and travel, but also as a demonstration of state power and as a symbol of international relations.
Also in modern numismatics the idea of ​​​​the achievements of modern science can be traced; some spiritual spheres of human life are also noted here. In 2009, the Italian Mint issued a coin dedicated to the Nobel Prize. It depicts Guglielmo Marconi and in the background is the yacht-laboratory where the scientist worked for a long time.
Romance of the seas in numismatics
The marine theme is so attractive and romantic that many writers choose it for their works. They write about ancient treasures and SALE OF GOLD COINS, as well as about love and fidelity, about happiness and betrayal. And coin makers use the most romantic works to depict them on money. So, on one of the coins at the Lithuanian mint, a plot from Chingiz Aitmatov’s book “The White Steamship” was depicted. The boy looks through binoculars at a white ship and dreams of meeting his father, whom he has never seen. The coin is presented as a symbol of a childhood dream and a tribute to a talented writer.

Ship history

Botik Peter I is a wooden, single-masted, sailing and rowing vessel of the 17th century, a precious historical monument personifying the great idea of ​​​​creating the Russian fleet.

Boat of Peter I - "Grandfather of the Russian Navy"

In the ancestral village of Izmailovo in 1688, Peter I found an old boat; according to one version, it was English. By order of the sovereign, the wooden ship was restored, and the mast and sails were also installed.

The length of the boot according to the measurement points of 1837 between perpendiculars was 6.019 meters. Width without lining 1.911 meters. Width with lining 1.968 meters. The height of the side amidships is 0.813 meters. The height of the side at the stem is 0.997 meters. The height of the side at the sternpost is 1.003 meters. The width of the transom at the height of the gunwale is 0.984 meters. The height of the mast is 6.606 meters. The diameter of the mast at the can is 0.152 meters. The length between the stems is 6.096 meters. Transom height 1.4 meters. In terms of its dimensions and windage, the boat is close to the modern Yal-6, but is much heavier. The weight of the boat's hull was 1286.71 kg, and the sail area was about 18 sq.m.

The frames of the boat are oak, chopped, with a section of 70 x 57 mm. Each frame consists of two branches, the right and left sides, laid to overlap each other. Between the main ones there are additional shortened frames running from the keel to half the height of the side. All branches of the frames lie on the keel and are covered on top with a keelson connecting them with a section of 304.8 x 50.8 mm.

The sides, in addition to the strong gunwale (111.1 x 50.8 mm), are reinforced with velvet laid directly on the frames. The boat is sheathed with 28.6 mm thick coniferous boards hewn to the ends.

On the gunwale of the boat there are three pin oarlocks (shkarms) in a checkerboard pattern. The fourth was inserted under a removable liner at the beginning of the starboard bulwark (aft bulwark). During the next repair, this liner was sealed tightly and even the scarf pillow was removed, a trace of which remained. Rowing was carried out in a swing, but since the boat is quite heavy, it is quite possible that two people sat on each oar.

Decoration of the boat: between the gunwale and the velhout, 64 alternating triangles of white, blue and red colors are applied to the sides of the boat. The stern bulwarks are covered with paintings with a motif of rhythmically repeating curls of a plant shoot. On the inside of the transom is a double-headed eagle framed with a similar ornament. The side of the boat is decorated with low relief carvings. It consists of a plot composition with the figure of a saint in the center. To the right of it is a conventionally designed boat, similar in silhouette to a bead, and to the left is a small building. This composition is framed with a floral pattern of large acanthus leaves and free curls. The carving of the ornament is distinguished by the expressiveness and laconicism of its artistic language, due to which its clear forms are visible not only up close, but also from a long distance. Below the composition, on the transom itself, are stylized mascarons that combine the features of a lion’s head and a human face.

Peter I, sailing on a boat on the Prosyany Pond and the Yauza River, learned to sail. But the Yauza was too narrow, and the Prosyanoy pond was small, and the tsar transported the boat to Lake Pleshcheyevo, which became the cradle of the Russian navy. By the summer of 1692, about a hundred large and small ships of Peter I’s amusing flotilla were ready.

The creation of an amusing flotilla on Lake Pereslavl became a fundamental milestone in the history of Russian military shipbuilding. Maneuvering on the waters of Lake Pleshcheevo strengthened Peter I in his intention to create a fleet for establishment on the shores of the Azov and Baltic seas. In 1722, Peter I called the boat “the grandfather of the Russian fleet.”

First you have to really want it. So that it is impossible to sleep and one thought fills my head - this must be done! Then think it over, calculate it, draw up a work plan, and be patient. And start! - this is the main thing. We write about Archives, Museums, study the Internet and literature, establish contacts with people. We are going to St. Petersburg to look at the original ship. TsVMM (Central Naval Museum), Botik - exhibit No. 1 and a relic of our fleet. We study the original and obtain measurement sheets of the hull, spars, practical items and supplies of the vessel.

We move around St. Petersburg to the Botny House in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Now there is a replica of Botik, built by craftsmen at the Okhtinskaya shipyard in 1996. This was an order from the Russian Ministry of Defense for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet. We turn to management with a request to carry out control measurements, we receive it and measure everything we need.

We return home and sit down to do some design work. It's a troublesome matter, but an interesting one. The result should exactly replicate the representations from the museum measurement sheets. The more detailed the project is worked out in the drawings, the fewer questions will arise during construction. I got about 70 working drawings.

When the drawing work is left behind, it's time to think about where to start and where it can be done. I decided to start the project by making parts of the kit, spar, practical items and supplies. This is a large and painstaking job that takes a lot of time and it seemed burdensome to me to do it after the body work. This part of the work does not require large areas; everything can be done in a small workshop.

The workshop produced the boom and gaff, bowsprit and pivots, a set of blocks and deadeyes, steering gear, steps and a complete set of the vessel - stems and frames, with the exception of the keel beam - it did not fit in dimensions.

How convenient is such a workshop? - two steps from homemade coffee.

As the work progresses, you will definitely need a forge. On Botik, a lot of things are made by hand forging. I made the forge in a friend's garage.
She is unprepossessing, but she met all the requirements set before her. Placing orders for the manufacture of parts somewhere on the side means depriving yourself of the opportunity to try to make it yourself. This is unacceptable!

Blacksmithing is a very interesting activity. The metal becomes pliable and working with it is a pleasure. Of course, you don't have to be a professional here.

It’s not the Gods who burn the pots - you have to try, learn and try again and everything will work out!

It is best to bury all parts that have gone through fire and anvil. Good initial corrosion protection and excellent appearance.

When the work in the workshop is completed and all the elements of the vessel are manufactured, the time will come to choose a site for slipway work. This is the body assembly work. I got a dump.

You have to work a lot, otherwise the landfill will remain a landfill, no matter how much you look at it.

It’s good when a team works, but if you’re not afraid, it’s proven that one person can do a lot. Patience and a little effort!

The result was a kind of original boathouse, a summer option, but that was how it was intended.

It's time to move on to the slipway. The timber structure, leveled, was previously calculated and drawn on paper. On it, on the slipway, we give a breakdown of the main positions - the DP axis and the places for the frames.

The first frame went. This is Midel.

All frames are set upside down. Subsequently, in this position it is very convenient to work with the installation of external cladding.

Products are placed strictly in designated positions, checking with a plumb line for each frame. The work must be done as accurately as possible; all subsequent operations depend on this.

The next step is to install the keel.

Before that we work with him. We select the tongue and assemble it through the lock with the stem.

The keel is connected to the frames through through bolted connections. M8 stainless steel bolts were used. become.

The next step is the installation of the bow, so-called rotary frames, they are NOT placed perpendicular to the keel and stem.
They are set using templates taken from the theoretical drawing of the body.

Preparatory work begins before installing the sheathing. First of all, this is a small task - removing excess wood from the frames to ensure a tight fit of the sheathing belts to them. This is done with a sewing machine and checked with a rod.

Parts of frames, so-called. futox, flora and top timber are additionally fastened together with wooden dowels. All this sits on the resin.

When everything is prepared, checked, puttied and cleaned, smoothed and tightened, the sheathing begins. It is double longitudinal rack. Slats with a section of 12x25 in two layers with overlap along the length of the lower joining seams. The slats are laid, drawn, processed, then laid again and secured with an intermediate fastener. When the area is filled, everything is removed and finally placed on the resin, again with temporary fasteners.

All temporary holes are sealed in wood with resin. Such special Sea matches.

Here we clean, soak and prepare for some serious wood protection. The wooden body will be covered with six layers of heavy roving fabric, this should protect it from mechanical damage and excessive abrasive.

We punch through, thereby securing the outer skin with wooden dowels to the frames and stems.

We install plugs, covering the bolt heads.

Again we clean everything, polish it, impregnate it and get this beautiful little thing.

A very important moment in construction begins - the manual formation of plastic. Here you can get by alone, but you don’t need to, you still need to call your friend for help. The work is quite dirty, I molded two of my overalls. Be prepared to protect your breathing and your hands. It’s a dreary task, but again you have to start, and by the middle there is satisfaction, and by the end there is joy from what you’ve done.

Again sanding, stripping and puttying.

Finally coloring!

We need to turn it over. The truck crane was helpful and very neat and quick. Finished it in an hour.

Interior work. It is necessary to clean up all the smudges, remove the shergen strips and only then really start working.

The transom board, the stanchions, the formation of the gunwale and velvet, the laying of the keelson, the internal lining, the cans and tank flooring, working with linseed oil - all this is very interesting, it smells delicious - the work is a pleasure!

Very beautiful internal wood protection - first two layers of linseed oil, two layers of red lead on top, and then a finishing coat.

Now the Bot looks like this:

If what you saw and read did not leave you indifferent to the project - SUPPORT HIM!
A crowdfunding project has been launched to raise funds to sew sails for the Grandfather of the Russian Navy. Collection site on Planeta.ru.
