Emperor Nicholas I's prejudice against his own navy led to the fact that the navy met Western invaders without any screw ships. Thunder rumbled and Russia began to build feverishly, prioritizing the mass construction of cheap ships - screw boats and screw clippers.
The impossible was done - built in the early years after the Crimean War, the Russian screw fleet numbered thirteen clippers, which patrolled the waters of the World Ocean for the next fifteen years of active service.
The small wooden ships suffered damage and losses in their confrontation with the Ocean, but they performed their duty with honor.
This book is about the first sail-screw clippers of the Russian Imperial Navy.
