Admiral Makarov State Maritime Academy (Russian: Государственная морская академия имени адмирала С. О. Макарова) is a federal institution of higher professional education (ФБОУ ВПО ) which trains professionals for civil and merchant fleet.
History
[edit]In February 1919, a naval technical school was created.
In 1949, it was named after Admiral S. O. Makarov.
In 1985-1987 the school took part in an unusual scientific research (scientific historical reenactment). The expedition of the Soviet Geographical Society and Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was a reconstruction of the passage along the medieval trade route "from the Varangians to the Greeks". More than 100 people took part in the expedition, but the crews of the sailing ships were made up of cadets from this school. As a result, it was experimentally proven that on the merchant sailing ships typical for the 9th - 11th centuries, the 2,720 km route from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea could be covered in 90-95 days' passages.[1]
The institution was established by the merger of two much older institutions on 11 September 2012, by order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.[2] [3] It is located in St. Petersburg, Russia.[4]
