The Shtandart ( Russian Штандартъ , German transcription : Schtandart, "the standard") is a replica of an 18th century frigate . The original was the first frigate built at the Olonez shipyard under Peter the Great and the first ship commissioned as a frigate for the Baltic Fleet .
The Shtandart
As early as the late 1980s, documents and plans for a replica of the historic Shtandart ship were sought. Since details for a true-to-original replica are missing, the ship was divided into two concept zones. Modern elements can be found in the underwater area, and historical knowledge has been incorporated above the waterline.
The keel was laid in November 1994, and until the launch in 1999, according to general knowledge of historical shipbuilding, a ship of the first half of the 18th century was built in the size of the historical Shtandart . While still on the stack, the ship was christened by Prince Andrew . The launch took place with a floating crane . In June 2000 the fully equipped ship was able to set sail for the first time.
Since then, there is the "Project Shtandart " bereedert . It participates in regattas such as the Tall Ships' Races , harbor festivals and other events. For trips young people should learn self-discipline on board and team spirit. Another aim of the project is to design a shipyard from the time of Peter I as a museum.

Historical background to the original
During the Great Northern War , Tsar Peter managed to conquer the area of the future Saint Petersburg on the Neva . With the conquest of the fortress Nöteborg in 1702, Lake Ladoga was withdrawn from Swedish access, and the Tsar hoped that this would also allow him to gain access to Finland. The aim of these efforts was to gain access to the Baltic Sea in order to be able to build a port city there for trade and the navy.

Little information is known about the history of this warship . From 1702 was on the Olonezer the frigate built shipyard on the Lodejner field by the river Svir near the Lake Ladoga. and got its name there in relation to the newly introduced Russian naval flag, a standard . Tsar Peter personally transferred the ship to the Baltic Sea in 1703. When seven Swedish ships of the line, five frigates and other small ships attacked the Neva estuary in June 1705 , eight Russian frigates lay behind a tree barrier, including probably the Shtandart . In 1712 and 1713 she took part in troop landings in Finland near Vyborg , Sweden . No stake is mentioned after this action. The ship was decommissioned in 1718 as unusable. In 1723 the ship was scrapped in St. Petersburg.
According to another version, Tsar Peter ordered that the Shtandart should be preserved as a reminder of the beginnings of the Russian fleet. In 1727, Tsarina Catherine I ordered the condition of the Petrine ships to be examined. But while trying to get the Shtandart out of the water, the ship broke apart.
