Abstract
Among the private shipyards, of great importance was the Vavchuga shipyard of the Bazhenins who were merchants of the Gostinaya Sotnya (Guest Hundred – a privileged corporation of Russian merchants). The shipyard was situated opposite the city of Kholmogory. In the course of the 18th century, this enterprise launched to water about 120 ships of different ‘new-mannered’ types which sailed in the basin of the White and Barents seas and the Arctic Ocean. In addition, a number of the sailers were sold to West-European merchants. This paper is devoted to studies of the activities of the Bazhenins – merchants of the Gostinaya Sotnya and the first shipbuilders.
