Official Historic Naval Ship's Boats are two Russian
Navy six-oared yawl boats that were loaned by the
Russian Navy's Engineering Institute to commemorate
the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy and the
150th Anniversary of California's Statehood in 1996.
They comprise Boat Base Monterey of the Naval
Engineering Institute, inaugurated in 1996 to promote
historic programs that encourage awareness of the
Russian Navy's contribution to California's history.
The boats were recognized in 1998 by the City of
Monterey, which proclaimed them Monterey's Official
Historic Naval Ship's Boats. The boats have been used with educational programs for local schools, educational films, and a Dreamworks production, conducted a joint expedition up the Sacramento river with the Russian Navy and U.S.Navy Sea Cadets, and have been used in programs with the Monterey Maritime Museum that taught traditional rowing, sailing, navigation, and marlinspike seamanship skills within the context of California's maritime history. Boat Base Monterey is administered by a Lieutenant, a Warrant Officer, and two acting Warrant Officers appointed by the Russian Naval Engineering Institute to promote, care for, and maintain the two six-oared yawls. In addition, the following local sponsors have donated substantial support to provide this community service to the Monterey Peninsula: |
