Khariton Prokofievich Laptev when and where he died. Laptev Khariton Prokofievich, explorer
Famous explorer of northern Asia; in 1718 he enlisted in the navy's midshipmen; in 1737 he was assigned to a large northern expedition, which described and photographed for the first time the shores of the Arctic Ocean from the White Sea to the river. Kolyma. On June 9, 1739, L. left Yakutsk, and on the 21st he was already in the ocean and, making an inventory of the shore, wintered in Khatanga Bay. On July 12, 1740, on the same boat-boat, he went further to the west; after a difficult swim along the lip, he went to sea only a month later, but here he encountered even more difficult obstacles; finally, the ice finally crushed the ship and the crew and officers had to get to the shore on the ice; with difficulty they returned to their winter quarters last year. In view of two unsuccessful attempts to go around the Taimyr Peninsula by sea, L. decided to describe its shores by land, moving on dogs. For this purpose, he equipped three separate expeditions, and L. himself described part of the coast from the mouth of the river. The Taimyrs are somewhat towards B and 3. In 1742, he traveled again to the mouth of the Taimyr, thinking of taking part in the inventory of the extreme north. part of the peninsula, but, due to lack of provisions, returned to Turukhansk and from there went to St. Petersburg with reports. He died in 1763, with the rank of Ober-Ster-Kriegs-Commissar of the Fleet.

(born unknown - died 1763) - Russian. Arctic explorer, began serving in the navy in 1718 as a midshipman. In 1737 he was promoted to lieutenant and appointed head of the Great Northern detachment. expedition to photograph the sea coast west of the river. Lena. In 1739 he sailed on the double-boat "Yakutsk" from the Lena to Cape Thaddeus, where he was stopped by ice. For the winter he stood at the mouth of the river. Prodigal (right tributary of the Khatanga River). In 1740, during a new attempt to go around the Taimyr Peninsula, the ship was crushed by ice near the coast at 75 ° 26 "N. In 1741-42, carrying out work in sleigh parties, L. with his assistants S. Chelyuskin (see) and N. Chekin completed the route survey of the Taimyr Peninsula, which served as the only source for depicting it on maps until the end of the 19th century. The description of the coast from the Lena to the Yenisei compiled by L. was of great value. After the end of the expedition, L. continued to serve in the Baltic Fleet. named in honor of L.: the sea coast between the Pyasina River and Taimyr, two (the eastern-eastern cape of the island of the pilot Makhotkin, a cape on the eastern shore of the Chelyuskin Peninsula; in honor of Kh.

The pedigree of the Laptev family began with the famous Prince Rodega, who left the Kosu Horde. A descendant of this prince, Gleb Romanovich Sorokoumov, had a son, Bartholomew, nicknamed Lapot, from whom the Laptevs descended.
The year is 1700 - in the family... of Laptev, the owner of the village of Pokarevo (it still lives and is almost well), a son was born - Khariton Laptev. A year later (in 1701), a son, Dmitry Laptev, was also born into the family of his brother Yakov Laptev, owner of the village of Bolotovo (the village disappeared during the war). The boys were baptized in the Slaoui parish church. Here it is worth paying special attention to one point: Khariton and Dmitry are considered cousins. But if you believe the pedigree of the Laptev family, compiled by Khariton’s son, Kapiton (S. Petrov writes about it in his article dedicated to seafarers), then it turns out that the fathers of the famous explorers were cousins, and Khariton and Dmitry themselves were second cousins.
The boys were born at a time when Tsar Peter was just putting the Russian fleet in order, and therefore the thought of the sea crept into the heads of the young offspring living on the shores of the calm Lovat, fishing in the surrounding lakes. It didn’t just creep in, it captivated them so much that their parents sent them to St. Petersburg. And there their uncle Boris Ivanovich Laptev, who was in the service of the sovereign (as a ship master at galley shipyards), placed the boys in the newly created Naval Academy.
After completing their studies, the brothers went different ways: the youngest, D. Laptev, two years after graduating from the academy, became a midshipman, and soon a non-commissioned lieutenant and ship commander. Khariton had to reach the rank of midshipman 
serve for six years as a navigator. The brothers also took part in military battles, but what brought them fame was, as they would say now, their research activities. Since 1736, Dmitry has led one of the northern detachments of the Second Kamchatka Expedition, and his brother soon joined him.
The fate of the sailors was long. Khariton Laptev lived to the age of 63 and died on December 21, 1763 in St. Petersburg. According to one version, he was buried on his estate near Velikiye Luki, although not a single contemporary of ours saw his grave.
Dmitry Laptev retired in April 1762 and settled on his estate Bolotovo. Until recently, the date of death and burial place of D. Laptev were unknown. But around 2005, employees of our archive found the metric book of the Trinity Church of the Slaui churchyard, Velikoluksky district for 1771, where in part three “On the Dying” under No. 2 the priest wrote: “Died on January 20, 1771 of the village of Bolotov, nobleman Dmitry Yakovlev, son of Laptev, 70 years".
What remains of the Laptevs on the land of Velikiye Luki? Yes, practically nothing except the memory of world-famous fellow countrymen. Pokarevo is almost a holiday village. Small, but with a monument. There was absolutely nothing left of Bolotov except beautiful hills and topography suggesting that people had once lived here. In 2001, a wooden memorial cross was erected on the site of the village.
The Pokaryovo estate is the birthplace of Khariton Prokofievich Laptev.

Khariton Prokofievich Laptev(1700 - December 21, 1763) - Russian polar explorer.
Khariton Prokofievich Laptev was born in 1700. In 1718 he entered the service as a midshipman and on May 24, 1726 he was promoted to midshipman.
In 1734, he took part in the war against Leshchinsky's supporters on the frigate Mitava under the command of Defremery, who was captured by the French by deception. After returning from captivity, Kh. P. Laptev, along with all the ship’s officers, was sentenced to death for surrendering the ship without a fight, but then the crew was found innocent. After his release, Kh. P. Laptev returned to the fleet.
In 1736 he was sent to the Don River to find a convenient place to build ships. In 1737, he commanded the court yacht Dekrone and was promoted to lieutenant. In December 1737, he was appointed head of a detachment of the Great Northern Expedition with instructions to survey and describe the Arctic coast west of the Lena to the mouth of the Yenisei. By this time, Dmitry Laptev, a participant in the Great Northern Expedition, arrived from Yakutsk for instructions for further actions, and when leaving, he took his cousin Khariton and Lieutenant Chikhanov with him. In March 1738 they left for Yakutsk.
On July 9, 1739, Khariton Laptev, with the task of describing the shore of the Arctic Ocean west of the Lena, left Yakutsk on the double-boat “Yakutsk” and reached the ocean on July 21. Constantly struggling with the ice, sometimes sailing, sometimes using oars, sometimes pushing with poles among the ice, almost a month later he reached the mouth of the Olenyok River. Having described part of the mouth, he walked to Khatanga Bay, where he was detained by ice. Only on August 21 did he approach Cape St. Thaddeus at 76°47" northern latitude. Here he encountered solid ice and returned to Khatanga Bay, where on August 29 he stood at the mouth of the Bludnaya River at 72°56" northern latitude. In March 1740, Khariton Laptev sent surveyor Chekin to describe the coast from the Taimyr River west to Pyasina. Chekin managed to do only part of the work and at the end of May he returned on foot.
Khatanga was opened on June 15, but it became possible to move from the winter quarters to get the ice only on July 12 and by August 13 we reached the outlet to the ocean.
At latitude 75°30\" the ship was covered in ice and drifted across the sea, threatening to crush it every minute. After two days, it was decided to abandon the ship. Until August 30, they dragged supplies ashore on the ice. From here they walked along the coast to the old winter quarters. Thus, two years of efforts to go around The exploration of the Taimyr Peninsula by sea was not successful. Laptev decided to describe its shores by land, using dogs, which he began in the spring of 1741.
To inventory the shores of Taimyr, Laptev divided his detachment into three parties. On March 17, 1741, he sent Chelyuskin’s party west to inventory the Pyasina River and the shore from the mouth of the Pyasina to the Taimyra River. On April 15, 1741, Laptev sent surveyor Chekin to describe the eastern coast of Taimyr from the winter quarters to the Taimyr River, but due to snow blindness, Chekin described only 600 kilometers of the coast and was forced to return to the winter quarters. On April 24, 1741, Laptev himself went from the winter quarters to Lake Taimyr, and then along the valley of the Lower Taimyr River he reached its mouth - the Taimyr Bay. Next, changing the original route, he moved northeast along the coast to the expected meeting with Chekin. Laptev was able to reach only 76°42’N. Leaving a sign for Chekin and suffering from snow blindness, Laptev returned to Taimyr Bay.
Having barely recovered from his eye disease, Laptev went west and spotted several islands (from the Nordenskiöld archipelago), according to his data, reaching 76°38’N latitude. (true latitude was 77°10’N - the northern tip of Russky Island) turned south-southwest and on June 1 at Cape Leman (in Middendorf Bay) met with Chelyuskin. Further, on a joint voyage, they identified and mapped a number of bays, capes and coastal islands. This entire area was later called the Khariton Laptev coast.
On June 9, both returned to the mouth of the Pyasina, where they separated again: Laptev went up the river by boat to Lake Pyasino, and from there on reindeer to the Yenisei, Chelyuskin, on reindeer along the shore, reached the mouth of the Yenisei and there caught up with Laptev, and near the mouth of the Dudinka River they met Chekin. In August, everyone moved to the Yenisei and spent the winter in Turukhansk. It remained to describe the northernmost part of the Taimyr Peninsula, the so-called Northeastern Cape, now Cape Chelyuskin. For this purpose, Chelyuskin was sent in December, who on May 7 reached this cape and then made an inventory from Cape St. Thaddeus to the Taimyra River, where Khariton Laptev went to meet him. After that, they returned to Turukhansk, and Laptev went to St. Petersburg with reports. In 1743 he returned to St. Petersburg, having successfully completed the task. Laptev's reports and reports of 1739-1743 contained valuable information about the progress of the work of the northern detachment of the Great Northern Expedition, about the hydrography of the coast of the Taimyr Peninsula. Subsequently, he continued to serve on ships of the Baltic Fleet. Since 1746, he commanded the ship Ingermanland in the Baltic Sea. In 1754 he was promoted to captain of the 3rd rank, and in 1757 - to the 2nd rank, and at the same time, commanding the ship "Uriel", he went to Danzig and Karlskron. In 1758 he was promoted to 1st rank and, commanding a newly built 66-gun ship (still without a name), on the passage to Kronstadt, on September 19 he was wrecked near Skagen. In 1762 he was appointed Ober-Ster-Kriegs Commissioner.
Memory of Khariton Laptev
- The Laptev Sea is named after Khariton Laptev and his cousin Dmitry Laptev.
- In honor of Khariton Laptev, the southwestern coast of the Taimyr Peninsula is named the Khariton Laptev Coast.
- In honor of the Laptev brothers, a memorial sign was erected on the site of the former village of Bolotovo, Kupuysky volost, Velikoluksky district.
KHARITON PROKOFIEVICH LAPTEV
The name of Khariton Laptev became widely known in Russia only a century after his feat.
Laptev has the honor of discovering the huge Taimyr Peninsula, stretching to the north between the Lena and Yenisei. Before Laptev appeared on these shores, the existence of Taimyr was not known in Russia.
Only Laptev was the first to establish the size and extent of this peninsula, described its relief and natural conditions, compiled the first navigational map of its shores and a unique geographical description of the nature of the interior regions and the peoples who inhabited them.
The work done by Laptev in the most difficult conditions of the wild nature of the North was so enormous that some even doubted the reality of his detachment reaching the northern point of Asia.
Khariton Prokofievich Laptev came from an old, albeit impoverished, family of Velikiye Luki nobles.
He was born in 1700 in the small village of Pekarevo, Slautsk camp, Velikiye Luki province. Here Khariton spent his childhood, receiving his primary education under the guidance of a local priest. In 1715, by decree of Peter I, among the noble minorities of the northern provinces, “as if living by water communications,” enrollment was carried out for the Maritime Academy, newly organized in the new Russian capital. Khariton Laptev went there with his younger brother Dmitry.
In 1718, the Laptev brothers, after passing their exams, were promoted to midshipmen and enlisted in the Baltic Fleet. Two years later, Khariton Laptev was promoted to the rank of non-commissioned navigator.
Five years later he was sent to Italy as part of a special naval mission, and upon his return Laptev was promoted to the first officer rank of midshipman.
In 1774, Khariton Laptev took part in the War of the Polish Succession, but there he was met with failure.
The frigate Mitau, on which Laptev served, was sent to Danzig with the task of finding out which countries' ships were supporting the contender for the Polish throne, Stanislav Leszczynski. However, the commander of the Kronstadt squadron, Admiral Gordon, who sent Laptev to conduct reconnaissance, did not write in the “warrant” given to the frigate commander that the French ships should be considered enemy. All this led to the fact that Mitau was surrounded by military ships of Stanislav Leszczynski's allies, and the entire crew of the frigate was captured.
Laptev also shared the fate of the Mitau crew. After the end of hostilities, prisoners were exchanged and the officers of the frigate were put on trial by military court on charges of surrendering the frigate to the enemy without a fight. According to Peter the Great's naval regulations, officers could lose their lives for such an offense. The verdict had already been passed, but there were witnesses who confirmed that the “warrant” did not consider the French ships to be enemy ships. A new investigation was ordered, and only in February 1736 the Mitau officers were released.
At first, Laptev sailed on the frigate Victoria in the Baltic Sea. Then he was sent to build warships in case of war with Turkey. After completing this task, Laptev returned to St. Petersburg, where he was assigned to command the court yacht Dekrone.
However, having learned that officers were needed for the Kamchatka expedition, Laptev in February 1737 submitted a petition addressed to Empress Anna Ioannovna with a request to send him to Siberia. For several months he waited for a response to his petition and only in December he was approved as commander of the double-boat “Yakutsk” of the Lena-Yenisei detachment with promotion to the next rank of lieutenant.
The instructions given to Laptev at the Admiralty Board instructed him to travel by sea from the Lena to the Yenisei and describe the unknown shores. Laptev was given a four-year period to complete the task. The Admiralty Board granted Laptev fairly broad powers to carry out the task, allowing him to resolve many issues at his own discretion.
In March 1738, Khariton and Dmitry Laptev left for Siberia.
On the way, they stopped in Kazan, where everything necessary for the expedition was located.
The Laptev convoy first walked along the Volga to the mouth of the Kama, then along the Kama and Chusovaya. The cargo was transported through the Urals by horse-drawn convoys to the Tura River. In Verkhoturye, all property was loaded onto small barges and boats, which moved along the Tura through Tyumen to the Tobol River.
From Tobolsk, barges with cargo traveled along the Irtysh to its confluence with the Ob, from where they went up the Ob to the Kebi River. From Kebi the barges went to the Makovsky fort, where all the property was loaded onto horses and transported to Yeniseisk.
By sledge, by the new year 1739, the Laptevs reached Ust-Kut on the Lena River, where planks and barges were already being built for floating equipment down the river.
On June 8, 1739, the Yakutsk moved downstream of the Lena. A large yalboat with firewood was in tow. A kayak with flour was towed behind the boardwalk.
The voyage along the Lena continued for more than a month, and finally, on July 21, 1737, the Yakutsk set out to sea heading west. Along the way, he often encountered ice floes, which the Yakutsk successfully avoided.
On July 27, high rocky headlands were discovered surrounding the entrance to the bay, which was not marked on the map. This was Cape Pax. Laptev gave this bay the name Nordvik (Northern Bay). Having completed the description of Nordvik, Laptev moved north. The further advancement of the Yakutsk was hampered by ice, which became more and more abundant.
Laptev intended to unload part of the provisions from the overloaded ship in the winter quarters of Konechny, located 12 km north of Cape Sibirsky, in case the Yakutsk died in the ice, and the crew would have to travel on foot. However, an east wind blew from the sea and ice appeared again, and Laptev ordered to go south, to the Khatoichsky Bay, where there was another winter quarters at the mouth of the Zhuravleva River. There was another winter quarters here, to which the boat was moved. Here the expedition members left the boat, and then the Yakutsk rushed with full sail along the eastern coast. Along the way he encountered almost no ice floes.
From the island of St. Paul (modern island of St. Andrew) "Yakutsk" walked along the coast to the west. However, he soon encountered ice floes again, which forced Laptev to swim near the shore. On the night of August 20, the south wind drove away the ice floes, and, using the resulting clearing, the Yakutsk crew first rowed and then sailed. Soon they entered Thaddeus Bay, which they mistakenly took for the mouth of the Taimyr River. It was never possible to find the mouth of the river, and Laptev designated the cape entering the sea as Cape Thaddeus.
It was impossible to go further beyond the cape to the north, and Laptev sent out small groups of people to scout out whether there was any passage in the ice floes. However, it soon became clear that ice floes covered all visible space in the north, and then Laptev decided to convene all the non-commissioned officers of his team for a council to decide on further actions. The council unanimously spoke in favor of returning to the south, where it was necessary to camp for the winter.
On August 22, the Yakutsk headed southeast. Under a favorable stormy northwest wind, the dubel-boat entered the Khatanga Bay by the morning of August 27.
Here Laptev intended to pick up the large yawlboat and provisions left from the winter quarters. However, the ice surrounded the coast so tightly that it was impossible to approach it.
It was decided to look for a new winter shelter for the ship and people. Such a place was found on the Khatanga Bay at the mouth of the Popichay River.
On August 28, the Yakutsk arrived at the winter hut, next to which by mid-September five residential buildings and barns were built, in which sails, cannons and provisions were stored. Laptev’s detachment was located in this village.
Provisions from the Ust-Olenek winter quarters were also transported here. In addition, fresh fish and reindeer meat were brought from the neighboring winter quarters.
Already in the winter hut, Laptev was thinking about continuing the work. The initial task at this stage was to determine from the sea the mouths of the Taimyra and Pyasina rivers. Already at the beginning of April, Laptev sent several people, led by surveyor N. Chekin, to inspect the coast of the mouth of the Taimyr and Pyasina rivers with a deck survey of the coast. However, the trip ended in failure, since Chekin had no experience in sleigh rides.
On June 15, Khatanga opened up and was soon freed from ice. On July 8, food and barrels of fresh water, which could be needed for sailing at sea, were loaded onto the Yakutsk.
On July 12, the Yakutsk left the coast and by the morning of the next day reached the last cape of the Khatanga River, called Korta. A large yawlboat was left here as unnecessary. However, it was still impossible to sail further - the bay was covered with unbroken ice. Only on July 30 did it become free of ice, and the Yakutsk set off, but two days later it found itself at an impassable wall of standing ice.
With great difficulty, Laptev and his comrades managed to find a channel and go to the mouth of the Zhuravleva River.
By the evening of August 12, the southeast wind dispersed the ice floes and the Yakutsk again began to make its way north. However, the voyage did not last long; the next day the Yakutsk was covered in ice. The dubel-boat was severely dented by ice floes, a leak appeared in it, no measures taken by the Yakutsk crew could save the vessel. Not only the Yakutsk, but the entire crew was in danger of death. However, standing ice was discovered to the west of the wreck site, which could have saved the ship's crew. With great difficulty, the boat filled with water was dragged along the standing ice, onto which they began to unload the cargo on board the Yakutsk.
By August 16, the crew of the ship went ashore, where they began to take everything removed from the ship. Here, on the steep rocky coast, Laptev ordered to dig round holes, line their bottom with driftwood, make ceilings from poles, covering them with brought sails taken from the Yakutsk. They had to spend time in these “earth yurts” until the ice became strong and it would be possible to cross it to the winter quarters.
On September 20, the ice became so strong that Laptev decided to send a group of nine soldiers led by Chekin to the southern shore of Maria Pronchishcheva Bay. They had to get to the nearest winter hut and ask for help there.
Laptev divided his entire detachment into three groups so that on the way they could stop in small fishing huts, changing each other. Laptev himself went with a second group of 15 people. A group led by navigator S. Chelyuskin was to follow him. Only sick soldiers and sailors, of whom there were four in total, were left in the yurt.
In five days, Laptev’s group covered 120 kilometers and finally arrived at Kozhin’s winter quarters.
On November 25, Laptev sent a report to the Admiralty Board, in which he outlined all the circumstances of the death of the Yakutsk and the council’s decision to conduct land surveys of the coast in the spring in groups of several people on dog sleds. The groups had to move towards each other from the mouths of the Khatanga, Nizhnyaya Taimyr and Pyasina rivers. It was decided to send soldiers and sailors who were not supposed to be involved in the filming to the Yenisei.
However, the first attempt to film the shores was unsuccessful for many of its participants, including Laptev himself; many fell ill with snow blindness - light burns of the eyes. Having barely recovered from his “personal illness,” Laptev rode west to meet Chelyuskin, who was moving from the east.
Along the way, Laptev discovered several small islands that were not marked on his map. On May 24, he crossed the strait, discerning an island visible in the north (now called Russian). At its southwestern tip, many hills were discovered, with no land between them. Laptev did not suspect that the hills were small islands, also already mapped.
From Russky Island, Laptev headed towards the western edge of the array of islands in the western part of the Nordenskiöld archipelago. Here he landed on a high island, later named after Makarov.
On May 28, Laptev and his companions set out south. However, on the way they were overtaken by a blizzard, visibility was lost, and instead of standing ice, the travelers almost hit the target that separated the hummocks from the standing ice.
On June 1, 1741, a meeting between Laptev’s group and Chelyuskin’s group took place near Cape Leman. Both groups traveled many kilometers towards each other along the northern coast from the mouths of the Pyasina and Taimyra rivers. “The weather is pretty bad,” Laptev wrote in his journal, describing this meeting. - Since noon, navigator Chelyuskin came to meet us, whose dogs that came with him were very thin, and a small number came with him. And, having fed the dogs, we set off to return the navigator.”
When the Pyasina River cleared of ice, Laptev swam up it, and then along its tributary, the Pure River, to the Yenisei. Laptev made the further journey across the tundra on reindeer, and the very next day he switched to a plank and went up the Yenisei, photographing the river banks along the way all the way to Turukhansk.
On August 29, Laptev and most of his detachment gathered in Mangazitsk (Turukhansk). During research in the spring of 1741, the Laptev expedition mapped a previously unknown sea coast between the mouth of the Nizhnyaya Taimyr and Yenisei rivers. However, it was still necessary to explore one route through the interior regions of Taimyr.
On February 8, 1742, Laptev, together with four sailors, left Turukhansk, and on March 2 arrived in Dudinka. Then Laptev rode on reindeer to the east of the Yenisei.
On March 19, he reached the mouth of the Norilskaya River and continued on his way to Lake Taimyr to meet Chelyuskin’s group. However, he soon realized that his further progress was difficult, since due to the early spring the snow had become soft. Having prepared a storehouse with provisions for Chelyuskin’s group, Laptev set off on the return journey.
At the sites, he gave orders to provide Chelyuskin’s team with deer or boats. On June 27, he reached the mouth of the Dudina River in the winter quarters of Bobylevo and, as soon as the Yenisei cleared of ice, on July 16, on a yasash plank, he arrived in Turukhansk, where four days later Chelyuskin arrived with his party.
In the fall of 1742, the entire Laptev detachment gathered in Yeniseisk. Laptev sent his report on the completion of the campaign to the Admiralty Board, accompanied by Chelyuskin.
In the winter of 1743, Laptev's detachment was disbanded. He himself was involved in drawing up two report maps and describing the territory he surveyed.
After hearing the report, the Admiralty Board decided to assign Laptev to the ship’s crew of the Baltic Fleet. He remained in his previous rank of lieutenant, without receiving any awards for his five years of work. Only seven years later, Laptev was awarded the rank of captain in connection with his appointment as assistant director of the newly opened Naval Cadet Corps.
During the Seven Years' War of 1757–1762, Laptev, with the rank of captain 2nd rank, commanded a warship blockading the Prussian coast. After the end of the war, he was appointed "Ober-Ster-Kriegskommissar" (chief quartermaster) of the Baltic Fleet.
But due to his failing health, Laptev retired to his Velikiye Luki village of Pekarevo, where he died on December 21, 1763.
The northwestern part of the coast of Taimyr, where in 1741 Laptev met Chelyuskin (the coast of Khariton Laptev), is named after Khariton Laptev. In 1878 A.E. Nordenskiöld named the southeastern tip of Taimyr Island Cape Laptev. In the Laptev Sea, on the northeastern coast of Taimyr, there is Cape Khariton Laptev.
In August 1980, on the high bank of the Khatanga River, at the site of the winter mooring of the double boat "Yakutsk", where the houses in which the expedition members lived were located, a monument to its participants was unveiled. The 5-meter-high monument is a metal cone-shaped cable sea buoy. This monument helps naval vessels navigate the fairway of the Khatanga River, emerging here from the Laptev Sea, along the path that Khariton Laptev’s detachment once laid here.
When passing by the monument, by order of the captain of the ship, a sound signal is given for a quarter of minutes, and in the ship's broadcast, the crew and everyone on board the ship is announced in whose honor this salute is being given.
