One must assume her sailing rig is yet to be completed.

Hello,
I didn't react until now because I don't know the name of this (Russian) ship, but in my opinion, this is absolutely NOT the (replica of the) Russian Frigate Shtandart. Her shape is completely different.
Best regards,
Freddy.

Hello Astra and C°,
As I previously said, she is not de Shtandart, but some research brought me to ID her as : the Russian of the Poltava - ПОЛТАВА.
She was the first ship-of-the-line of the Baltic Fleet. She received her name in honor of the victory of the Russian forces in the battle of Poltava. The Poltava was constructed at the Admiralty shipyard and launched to water in June 1712. Peter I personally took part in the design and construction of the ship.

The construction of this replica of the battleship Poltava started in 2013 at the historical shipbuilding yard Poltava, founded by Saint Petersburg Yacht Club.
This 54-gun ship-of-the-line of the fourth rank Poltava was launched on 27th of May 2018, the City Day of Saint Petersburg. Festive ceremony of the battleship launch was held according to the naval historical traditions.
This ship will become a center of a big modern interactive museum complex, dedicated to the naval history of Russia.
More info on : official web-site : http://poltava1712.ru/kontaktyi ... and ask for translation !

Best regards,
Freddy.

Thank you very much Freddy for the identification of this ship. Also many thanks for providing the additional details.

I'll edit the photo description and the title of this photo to Poltava.

Hello Julian,
… well, if I add together, all my sea-days and stays in ports & bars … it’s gonna be a real amount of years !

But, as far as I understood, you answer is also very funny :
QUOTE : Peter (your nickname ?), (comma) I personally (you mean yourself ?) took part in the design and construction of the ship UNQUOTE.
So my question : who old are you then Julian ? Lol
Best regards,
Freddy.

Apologies Freddy. On reading again, I realised that I had misread. Must have been the harmattan dust in my eyes
