Service history
Gukor "Saint Peter" was built by the participants of the Second Kamchatka Expedition on Bering Island from the crashed eponymous packet . Construction supervised Savva Starodubtsev . The ship was lowered in early August 1742, and from August 14 to August 27, the expedition members survived the wintering and went to Petropavlovsk port [4] .
In the summer of 1743, the hukor was transferred to Okhotsk and was used as a transport vessel for delivering cargo to the ports of the Sea of Okhotsk [1] .
In October 1753, on the way from Okhotsk to Kamchatka, he was part of the detachment of Lieutenant V. A. Khmetevsky . On October 12, the ship was thrown ashore between the mouths of the Vorovskaya and Kompakovskaya rivers. During the shipwreck killed 12 crew members. Subsequently, the hukor was removed from the shore, repaired, put into operation and continued to be used as a cargo ship of the Siberian Flotilla [5] [6] .
In 1755, on the way from Yamsk to Okhotsk, the St Peter was assigned to the shores of Kamchatka by a strong opposite wind, after which it was cast ashore and defeated near the mouth of the Vorovskaya River [2] [5] [7] .
