; Sviatitel Nicolai is a reconstruction, built in 1991 at the site Petrodavosk, a Lodja , merchant ship of medieval . This type of boat was mainly used by sailors of northern coast of Russia (Arctic Coast), which traded with other peoples of northern Europe (Baltic countries and Scandinavia). With its shallow draft, he could navigate both large lakes such as Lake Ladoga, on rivers and major canals that open ocean Lodja were built over four centuries, until Peter the Great. decides to destroy them and replace them with boats similar to those of Western Europe (as Shtandart, he himself designed).
Through meticulous research center Petrodavosk, who built many replicas of traditional sailing, the boat is like as possible to those of the time.
The ship is armed with four cannons. It sails, not only in Russia but is capable of going much further: he came to Brest and Douarnenez in 2004, but we have, alas, could only take pictures alongside.
