"Goto Predestination"

Goto Predestination” (“God’s Foreknowledge”) is the first Russian sailing battle ship, which was built on the project of Peter I. Many of the works were controlled by him personally. The construction of the twin-deck, 58-gun ship began in 1698, and in 1700 “Goto Predestination” was floated. The ship fought in Azov. In 1712, it was sold to Turkey and renamed “Moscow Capudania”. In 1718 the battleship was recognized disused and sold for scrap.

 

The Voronezh Region Government decided to build a sailing copy of “Goto Predestination” in 2009. The construction was started on March 2011: the metal base of “Goto Predestination” was manufactured at the boatyard in Pavlovsk, and the wooden frame was made at Karelia shipyard “Varyag”. The ship will be a part of the historic park and will sail on the Voronezh river waters.
