NOVO-ADMIRALTY CANAL (New Admiralty Canal) flowing from the confluence of the Moika River and the Admiraly Canal to the Bolshaya Neva was dug in the first quarter of the 18th century. From 1738, it was named the Galley Canal (after the Galley Shipyard), from 1828 - the First Admiralty Canal, from 1836 it bears its present-day name (after the New Admiralty). The New Admiralty Canal separated the New Admiralty from living quarters. The canal's embankment runs from the English Embankment to the Moika River Embankment and into Pisareva Street by Khrapovitsky Bridge. The embankment was developed from the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century: No 2/74, formerly the house of Jacob Villiers (1730s; reconstructed in 1820s). Side buildings and the railing of the Bobrinsky Palace (No 6, the second half of the 18th century, restored in 1960-70s; see Galernaya Street). The New Admiralty Canal is spanned with theAdmiralty Bridge. In 1998-2002, a chapel was constructed in the territory of the Admiralty Shipbuilding Factory where Christ the Savior Church was demolished in 1932.
