About necessary of a creation of the guide-book about Votkinsks shipbuilding.

Shipbuilding in Votkinsk on the second half of XIX - early XX century is one of the cultural and technologicalphenomena of Russia of that period. Far from a river highways, town Votkinsk factory wasa, one of the largest shipbuilder inRussia.However, as shown by analysis of the literature, there is still no systematic description of the technical aspects of the history ofVotkinsks shipbuilding. Few historians engaged by Votkinsks steamers were interested, above all, the capitalist-ratio, for example, in lightof the development of river transport, or as part of the industry of the Urals. Until now, there is used only a limited data, often only in theretelling, moving from work to work. For example, a number of built in Votkinsk to Izhevsk factory ships varies from two to the four. Casedoes not contribute to the identification and availability of similar items of different ships, for example, seven ships were called "Votkinskyzavod." Organize information to best create a special directory of all constructed on Votkinsk steamers with their characteristics and a briefbiography. We believe that this edition, with the assistance of photos and technical documentation about Votkinsk shipbuilding may be ofinterest to historians and ethnographers.After a scientific revolution will put an array of the unknown to a wide range of data, the historianswill be able to sound analytical conclusions about the effectiveness of shipbuilding, the level of technological innovation adopted, etc. Andthere is interest in the topic not only in the Udmurt Republic, in Russia, but on the countries of ex-USSR, where ships Votkinsk plant servedas military ships and civil vessels. The Navy historians have repeatedly raised on internet forums and conferences, the need for such asystematization. For example, currently published similar catalogs steamers of KVZhD and Volunteer Fleet, etc. Another important aspect ofthis work is that a lot of technical documentation from the archives of the Votkinsk plant broke up in private collections (especially duringthe civil war and in the 1920s), and publication of data from private collections on the aforesaid subject all the more necessary to start thatwith the passing of the old collectors are often their archives with data in the trash relatives who do not understand their historical value. Inthis regard, currently in Votkinsk started the company to publish books about the history of the city to turn it into a tourist attraction - whilerare tourists visit the city only as the birthplace of the composer Tchaikovsky, completely losing sight of the rich historic and industrial past.
