Natalya Love True Things
I was told by my Mom and Dad that my Great Grandfather had been a captain of a passenger vessel at the beginning of 20th century. This doubledecker that you see on the photo sailed along the Volga river and the Kama river. When I became an adult I realised that I could have seen this ship in my teenage years!!! The quite old ship of course was not on the move by the end of 20th century because of depreciation and obsolescence but just think: I really had the opportunity to see the ship with my own eyes… if you love history (including your family history) you will understand me. Now the vessel doesn’t exist any more. When I was a teenager I simply did not think about seeing the ship connected with our family history, this idea didn’t come to my mind.
I had the experience in running a small touristic ship with approximately 40 people on board in the Black Sea. Note that I do not know how to do it. The first mate allowed me to try while the elderly captain was away for half an hour to have a rest (it was very hot), thus I was lucky to manage a ship. I felt so excited when I was turning the helm and saw how the vessel slightly changed its way. I needed to maintain the right direction but the strong wind interfered with keeping the right course, it made me stay alert.

On that day we swam in the open sea, enjoyed our fascinating voyage along the extinct volcano Karadag and came close to the well-known Golden Gate where the tourists make their wishes. Ahoy!!!

Very exciting family history including Russian rivers and the Black Sea adventures!!! Absolutely agree with Carol & DocAndersen – so priceless memories about a Captain!!!
Thank you for your wonderful comment Anastasia!
Very cool information, Nat : )
One day I’d love to ride a ship like this
It’s so exciting to do what you’ve never done before…
Good family history is worth being proud of. You have the wonderful experience of being a captain of a boat sailing on a beautiful sea! That must be so fun!
I am proud of my relative of course! History is something that can stay with us forever if we want to keep it in memory.
My experience on the ship was unique for me. Everyone must try something that he never did before…
Yep! I agree with you, we must try something we have never done before, as much as possible…
It can be fun to take a step back and look at our ancestors.
With the years I feel that the more we know about our ancestors the better we feel our families’ vibes.
Great family history. Perhaps you will follow in his footsteps one day
Maybe like a hobby… Thanks for your comment!
