Boat of Peter I, Maritime museum in Veskovo near Pereslavl, Russia.
The museum displays the preserved wooden boat Fortuna on Gremyach hill, surrounded by naval artifacts including helms, masts, and anchors from Peter's fleet.
Founded in 1803, the museum preserves the wooden boat that young Peter the Great used between 1689 and 1692 for naval training on Lake Pleshcheyevo.
The museum complex includes the White Palace from 1853, an obelisk dedicated to Peter the Great, triumphal arches, and a rotunda from 1852.
