It was in this year that the battleship "Empress Catherine the Great" ("Free Russia") appeared. 100 years later, the descendants of the sailors who served on this battleship went on an expedition to honor the memory of their ancestors. The history of the battleship is closely intertwined with the personal stories of people, entire generations of sailors and explorers.
