摘要：Barges of the domestic merchant and military fleets have not yet been the object of scientific research. Many authors dealing with the history of shipbuilding mention the construction of non-self-propelled ships, but these are only eclectic references. Partially, this problem is overcome by statistical collections that published the composition of the merchant and military fleets on a certain date. However, a holistic picture of the evolution of the domestic non-self-propelled fleet is created either for the pre-revolutionary or for the Soviet period. The events of the revolution and the civil war pass by a kind of watershed, which makes it difficult to reliably connect the biographies of the vessels.In 1916–1917 The Votkinsk plant received an order from the Maritime Ministry for the construction of 20 barges of a 250-ton raid and 200-ton river type. The entire order was fulfilled by the plant, but with some delay, given the "force majeure" of 1917−1918. These barges became the object of study of this work.Of the ten barges of the 250-ton type, seven were handed over to the customer and became part of the watercraft of the Arkhangelsk military port. Three more, apparently, at the time of the start of active hostilities on the Northern Dvina were under construction. Since this type was not well suited for fighting on the rivers, all three barges were transferred to the Upper Volga.Of the ten barges of the 200-ton type, within the existing source base, it is possible to trace only the biographies of five that entered the Kama River Shipping Company, and later the Vyatka. Most likely, at the time of the beginning of the Votkinsk uprising, these five barges were located in the city, used first as a prison, and then floated to the Kama to build a pontoon bridge. The fate of five more barges is unknown. If they did not die during the civil war, it is possible that they were assembled without the participation of the Votkinsk plant and the plant no longer appeared in their further registration data.
