ADMIRALTY SHIPYARD, the first ship-building enterprise in St. Petersburg lay down on the left bank of the Bolshaya Neva on 5 November 1704 at the same time as the Admiralty, with chief commandant Y. V. Bruce as the construction manager. The Admiralty Fortress was erected to protect the shipyard and the Admiralty. One dock and 9 slipways were constructed by 1716. A snow named Nadezhda (Hope) was the first ever vessel laid down on July 5, 1708 and launched on July 28, 1708, and the Poltava was the first battleship laid down on December 5, 1709 and launched on June 15, 1712. In 1712, there were as many as 6 battleships including the 90-gun Lesnoe and the 110-gun Peter I and Peter II and 50 smaller vessels under construction at the Admiralty Shipyard. Shipbuilding was gradually cut back from 1800; the Admiralty Shipyard was closed down in 1843. The total of 78 battleships, 39 frigates, and over 100 other ships and vessels were built at the Admiralty Shipyard. The Navy Department sold the territory of the shipyard in 1870s to be built up. Admiralteyskya Embankment appeared at the same time.
