Olonetskaya shipyard (Russian: Олонецкая верфь), also known as Svirskaya (from 1785 - Lodeynopolskaya) is a shipbuilding enterprise that operated in 1702–1829 in Lodeynoye PoleinOlonetsky Uyezd of the Russian Empire.
Bombardier Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev was appointed the first commandant of the shipyard, who arrived in Olonets in February 1703. On March 24, 1703, Olonets shipyard was opened.
On August 22, 1703, the first rank ship of the Baltic Fleet, the 28-gun frigate Standart, left the shipyard slipway.
Until 1724 the shipyard also built a considerable number of small ships and vessels - from bombardier ships to dinghies - more than 800 in total. After the end of the Northern War, large-scale shipbuilding at the Olonets shipyard gradually faded away.[2]
