NIKOLAEVSKY NAVAL ACADEMY was named after Emperor Nicholas I, and founded in 1877 on the basis of the Academic Course of Marine Sciences (1862), which had been called the Higher Officers Class of the Naval Cadet Corps (1827-62). Apprenticeship lasted 2-3 years. From 1862, it had three departments: hydrographic, ship-building, and mechanical; in 1895, a course on naval sciences was added, becoming a department in 1910. From 1907, it was situated in a specially constructed building at 8 Eleventh Line of Vasilievsky Island (1905-07, architect M.Kh. Dubinsky). It was re-organised into the Naval Academy in 1922.
