Chesma
(Russian:
Чесма
, also transliterated
Tchésma
) was the second ship of the
Ekaterina II
-class battleships
built for the
Imperial Russian Navy
in the 1880s. Named after the Russian victory at the
Battle of Chesma
in 1770, she was built by the
Russian Steam Navigation Company
at
Sevastopol
. When the ship was completed, she proved to be very overweight, which meant that much of her waterline
armor belt
was submerged. She served in the
Black Sea Fleet
until she was turned over to the Sevastopol port authorities and decommissioned in 1907. This
chromolithograph
print is dated 1892.
