Лодейное Поле
"Mirny" was under construction in 1818 at Olonetskaya Shipyards, Lodeynoye Pole. It was initially named "Ladoga" (after Lake Ladoga), but when a new ship became needed for an Antarctic expedition, the decision was taken not to build a completely new one, but to refit "Ladoga". It was reconstructed under surveillance of its future commander Mikhail Lazarev.
