This book by V. A. Chernenko, a member of the Association of St. Petersburg Researchers and a freelance contributor to the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg, draws on a wide range of sources, primarily newly discovered archival documents, and is dedicated to the history of the first steamship in Russia and the establishment of regular steam navigation in our country. The author also tells the story of the inventor and builder of the first domestic steamship, the talented foundry engineer Charles (Karl Nikolaevich) Byrd, a Scotsman by birth, the history of his factory, and the Byrd dynasty's contribution to the architectural and artistic image of St. Petersburg. Written in the year of the 200th anniversary of the first Russian steamship and the establishment of shipping in Russia, and illustrated with copies of unique archival drawings, engravings, watercolors, and paintings by 19th-century artists, as well as antique and modern photographs, the book is intended not only for specialists but also for anyone interested in the past of St. Petersburg, as well as the history of Russian culture and technology.
