(

• ... that the Botik of Peter the Great (pictured) was considered to be the reason Peter the Great built the Russian Navy?

• ALT1:... that Peter the Great learned to sail in his botik (pictured)?
• ALT2:... that the Botik of Peter the Great (pictured) received a 101-gun salute?
• Comment: You'll notice that I still have an under construction tag. I do intend to add a few more sources into the article so it is still "under construction"; however, I'm not entirely sure if I'll have time to do that. The article meets requirements now, so the tag will need to be removed if this is accepted and I haven't already done so. My QPQ will be coming soon, again I'm nominating now because I know I'll be busy for a while, so it might be a couple of days.
