History
The shipyard was founded by decree of Peter I in 1697 on the right bank of the Voronezh River near the village of Chertovitskoe , 11 kilometers from Voronezh .
The location of the shipyard was determined by its proximity to the forest , from which shipbuilding material was delivered.
In October 1697, at the Chertovitsky shipyard, the 52-gun barkalon ship “Hercules” was laid down by the camps of Prince P. G. Lvov and the stolnik Pyotr Zykov. The ship was built by the Dutchman, ship master Peter Goor, who was accepted to the Russian service in early 1698 [1] .
Service people and workers at the Chertovitsky shipyard were under the supervision of the local landowner Alexander Mikhnev.
In May 1699, a solemn launching of the Hercules took place. The ship went down the river and stopped at a parking lot near the city of Voronezh. In 1702, Hercules was transferred to the mouth of the Voronezh River, where it stood for 8 years. In 1710, after the aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations, Hercules was staffed by a crew of 210 people and moved to Azov in the spring. It was put on a boathouse .
In 1699, the builder P. Goor at the Chertovitsky shipyard built another 6-gun ship-barkalon of the kumpanism of the stolnik P. Zykov. In May 1699, the ship was launched, and in 1701 it became a provisions ship. In 1710, it was demolished near the village of Trushkino.
The future navigator Vitus Bering worked at the Chertovitsky shipyard [2] .
At the beginning of the 18th century, due to the shallowing of the Voronezh River, the construction of large ships from the Voronezh Admiralty shipyards was gradually transferred to the new Tavrovsky shipyard , but small vessels continued to be built, including at the Chertovitsky shipyard.
In 1712, at the Chertovitsky shipyard, the builder Ivan Fedotov built 8 cannon slugs .
