Zarya (polar Ship)
''Zarya'' (russian: Заря, ''Sunrise'' or ''Dawn'') was a steam- and sail-powered brig used by the Russian Academy of Sciences for a polar exploration during 1900–1903. History Toward the end of the 19th century, the Russian Academy of Sciences sought to build a general-purpose research vessel for long-term expeditions. The first such Russian ship—and, for a couple of decades, the only one—was ''Zarya''. In 1899, Baron Eduard Toll, an Arctic explorer preparing to embark on a new polar voyage, bought a Norwegian three-masted barque called ''Harald Harfager'' (the nickname of a King of Norway) for the cost of 60,000 rubles. Toll was helped in his choice by Fridtjof Nansen, who recommended to use a ship similar to his '' Fram''. The ship had a displacement of 450 tonnes and a draught of 5 meters. Renamed ''Zarya'', the ship was sent to the shipyard of Colin Archer in Larvik to be heavily modified in order to deal with the ice. Colin Archer, the renowned Norwegian shipbui ...
