Abram Petrovich Gannibal was the first chief of engineering school. In 1715 Navigator classes were moved to Saint Petersburg to found the Marine academy. The school closed in 1752.
  Several modern educational institutions claim continuity with the Moscow School of Mathematics and Navigation, including the N.G. Kuznetsov Naval Academy, the Military engineering-technical university, and Mikhailovskaya Artillery Academy.
