Biography
Ivan Kutygin was born around 1740 [1] in the family of a quartermaster who served on the yacht of Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich . In 1776, the clerk Ivan Kutygin, on the personal recommendation of the Grand Duke, was sent to England for four years to study ship architecture with the English shipbuilder Thomas Mitchell [2] . In the last year of training, he began to skip classes, did not attend shipbuilding practice, but after suggesting mentors he corrected himself and successfully completed his studies [3] .
Upon returning to Russia, he was engaged in the design and timbering of ships. In 1788, the ship journeyman Kutygin composed drawings of 75- and 100-gun ships. In 1788 he was promoted to ship master [4] [5] .
In 1790, together with the ship master D. A. Masalsky at the Kronstadt shipyard he built 38-gun rowing frigates of the type “Alexander” - “Alexander” and “Elena”.
In 1791 he made a general drawing of the rowing shniva with armament "8 guns of 6 pound caliber of which turn on the nose in case of need" [6] .
On January 26, 1797, on the personal instructions of Emperor Paul I, Kutygin laid down a 40-gun ship in Kronstadt - the yacht Emmanuel, which the emperor ordered to call a frigate . The ship was built very quickly, and on June 16 it was already launched. On July 6, the emperor, who came accompanied by the empress, elder sons and a large retinue from Peterhof to Kronshtadt, for the first time after his great-grandfather Peter I , raised the imperial standard not on a yacht, but on a warship, which was listed as Emmanuel [7] .
