摘要:On the basis of a comparison of the “Handbook on the ship composition of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet” of 1940 and the “Ship List” of 1904, an attempt was made to identify the vessels of the Baltic Fleet which had served before the start of the Great Patriotic War. It is shown that in 1940 the most lifting barges were probably only built between 1904 and 1917, and therefore are absent in the list of 1904. However, it was revealed that in 1940 there were barges and scooters built in 1850−60 in the formation mainly at the Votkinsk plant.
