The informal museum of the Cossack fleet on Khortytsia was created on the basis of two ancient ships raised from the bottom of the Dnieper in these places. The decision to establish a shipyard on Khortytsia was made in 1737, at the height of the first Russo-Turkish war, when Russian ships could not pass to the Black Sea through the Dnieper rapids. Here were built dowel-boats and ships of the Cossack type - kayaks and boats, similar to the Cossack seagulls, as well as brigantines "Russian style". In 1739, about 400 ships of the Dnieper flotilla were based on Khortytsia. Some of them sank during the flood. The hull of a Cossack seagull, preserved at the bottom under the sand, was discovered in 1998, and a year later the ship was raised to the surface. In 2007, the brigantine found there was lifted, and later - a dowel-boat, a kayak and a single-decker boat. The finds were preserved and placed in a restoration shed near the Equestrian Theater, work is underway to restore their appearance. The charitable foundation created by the singer A. Makarevich provides active support to the restorers. Excursions are conducted. It is planned to create a Museum of Navigation (Museum of the Dnieper Flotilla).
