history

After William Froude's attempts in England in the 1870s had prompted the British Admiralty to build the first basin for towing tests, the well-known natural scientist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and the admiral and shipbuilding engineer Andrei Alexandrovich Popov also stimulated Russia from the beginning of the 1880s the construction of such a tow tank . The project won the support of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich , Admiral General and Commander in Chief of the Imperial Russian Fleet . The plans for the experimental basin were approved in 1890, and in 1893 it was completed on the island of New Holland in St. Petersburg. It was the first of its kind in Russia and the sixth worldwide. An inspection visit of the institution by Tsar Alexander III is considered the establishment date of the institute . on March 8, 1894.

On January 3, 1900, Alexei Krylov became head of the facility, replacing Alexei Andreevich Grechnew, a professor at the Naval Academy, who had been in office since 1892. In 1936 construction began at the current location in the south of the city. During the Second World War, parts of the institute were relocated to Kazan . The institute has had an ice tank since 1985.
