Veschun
From Warlike
Veshchun was an Uragan-class monitor built for the Imperial Russian Navy in Belgium during the mid-1860s. The design was based on the American Passaic-class monitor, but modified to suit Russian engines, guns, and construction techniques. She was one of two ships of the class built in Belgium and assembled in Russia. She served her entire career with the Baltic Fleet, operating only when the Gulf of Finland was not frozen. Little is known about her specific service. She was stricken from the Navy List in 1900, converted into a coal barge in 1903, and renamed Barzha No. 44 then Barzha No. 327. Abandoned by the Soviets in Finland in 1918, the ship was subsequently scrapped by the Finns.
