Service History
On January 28, 1829, the battleship Tsar Konstantin, under the command of Captain 1st Rank I. Butakov, during the cruise off the island of Kandia, captured the Egyptian 14-gun brig and the 26-gun corvette Lioness [2] . Both ships became part of the Russian fleet, while the brig was renamed to “ Candia ”, and the corvette retained its former name - “Lioness”. Lioness L. L. Heyden was appointed commander of the Lioness [3] .
In 1829 he went to Toulon for repairs. At the beginning of 1830 he joined the squadron of Rear Admiral P.I. Rikord , located at Poros . In May he was sent to Kandia to prevent possible clashes between the Turks and Greeks, after which he headed for Kronstadt , where he arrived by September 6, 1830 [4] .
In 1831 he escorted the battleship Kulm, on the way to Plymouth , with the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna on board [5] . He went on a practical voyage to the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea in 1832–1834, 1836–1838, 1840–1842, 1844, 1845, 1847 and 1848.
In July 1835, as part of the squadron of Vice Admiral P. I. Rikord, he took part in the transfer of a detachment of the Guards Corps from Kronstadt to Danzig , and in September brought it back [4] .
In 1844, he received damage, sitting in the Finnish skerries on the stones. In the same year he sank while keeling in Abo . The following year it was raised, and in the years 1846-1847 it underwent timbering in Kronstadt [1] .
Since 1848 he was in the port of Kronstadt. According to some data, it was disassembled [5] , according to others it was flooded in 1855 north of Kotlin Island to block the Northern fairway [1] .
