' The Heads above this expedition(dispatch) and above first of the mentioned ships was entrusted of fleet the captain лейтенанту Крузенштерну, and me is given командование by second. Long-term мо ё acquaintance to this man of excellent(different) talents, former travel ours in America and East India, and most of all desire to be useful to fatherland in the so important case, cause that I, despite of a seniority of the service, with a great hunt have agreed to make the so remote travel under his(its) heads, with that, however, that it was allowed to me to select for the ship entrusted to my management, of the officers and team at own my discretion ' [Лисянский Ю. Ф.].
The different periods of the large business have different "'весомостью".
I shall bring for an illustration of this statement of a line from the book of. Ф. Байдукова "'Чкалов":
' ... I many times touched hundreds well and of poorly familiar pilots, but even more often stopped on Чкалове.
- But why I? You see I a typical fighter ... - have not born Валерий.
- My dear(expensive) comrade! With the unbidden visitor I was filled up to you because to us most skilful is necessary, most brave and most authoritative in the country the pilot.
- Ах, Ягор! You love подковыривать of the comrades. Well what you do(make) me, "'штрафника", by the god? Blind flights, астро and radionavigation, radiotelegraphy I do not know ...
- Will achieve the sanction to flight, will raise superoverloaded ' АНТ 25 ' from a concrete strip - and, consider(count), fifty percents(interests) of the important, state business you have executed ... And flights in облачности is my business, all rest we with Сашей shall ensure(supply), do not worry ...
- Well if so, in the company to enter I do not refuse ' [Байдуков. Ф.].
During preparation of expedition(dispatch) Ю. Ф. Лисянский the financier, корабел, снабженец, expert in personnel questions acted as the expert.
In first, it(he) should choose for purchase the ships, suitable on qualities of seaworthiness for round-the-world navigation.
In second, it(he) should accept the decisions on financial questions: a parity(ratio) of the price and quality to coordinate financial conditions of the bargain.
In third, on it(him) the function of repair of the ships before long expedition(dispatch) laid.
In fourth, it(he) should buy all necessary accessories(belongings), devices.
' After long searches at last have found suitable of court: 16 gun ' Леандр ' in 450 tons and 14 gun ' Thames ' in 370 tons by displacement. Under the documents of court three years ago were constructed, but required(demanded) repair. While court repaired under supervision Разумовского, Лисянский selected and bought chronometers, секстаны, barometers and other tools ' [Фирсов And. И.].
In fifth, it(he) was engaged in selection of the officers and sailors (mainly for acquisition of crew of the ship "'Neva". The staff for "'Hope" selected And. Ф. Крузенштерн).
As far as it is possible to understand, married shortly before a beginning of expedition(dispatch) And. Ф. Крузенштерн expected addition of family and during preparation of expedition(dispatch) was engaged mainly in family businesses.
' Лисянский simultaneously selects the sailors and унтер of the officers for вояжа. Крузенштерн far, and Лисянский holds it(him) in a rate of the businesses ' [Фирсов And. И.].
For the sake of justice we shall note, that all set of these functions assigned to one man (the expert, financier, корабел, снабженец, expert in personnel questions), testifies both to highest qualification of such man, and that Ю. Ф. Лисянский became on a set of the actually assigned functions соруководителем of expedition(dispatch).
Choice and purchase of the ships, their repair, purchase of tools, delivery of the acquired ships in Kronstadt - all these tasks Ю. Ф. Лисянский has decided(solved) practically independently, almost without participation And. Ф. Крузенштерна.
Major questions has decided(solved) Ю. Ф. Лисянский prior to the beginning navigation. It(he) not only has shown itself(himself) as qualified корабела, but also as the effective organizer (chief) of expedition(dispatch)! It is possible to assume, what not each captain (commander of the ship) had such qualities.
Let's note also that to it(him) the large money was entrusted. From the references is not felt, that concerning ability Ю. Ф. Лисянского to dispose of money at whom that of имперского of a management(manual) there were what that doubts. As if Ю. Ф. Лисянский bought already fifth ship, and all purchases were successful; actually, as it is possible to understand, the appropriate experience at him(it) was not. And for whom such experience was available?
In coast of Southern America was found out подгнивание of two masts on "'Neva". The masts were replaced. The history testifies, that repair did not manage any round-the-world navigation. (Moreover, Дж. Слокам, the first single round-the-world seafarer combined repair with modernization of the yacht).
As to possible(probable) unconscientiousness of the sellers (or простоватости of the buyers),, how it is visible from the description of a situation, the lack of masts has come to light after in Brasil ' have removed(taken off) фор стеньгу and эзельгофт '. As far as the dismantle of the ship was usual at his(its) purchase (in England)? For whose account and whose forces such dismantle in England would be carried out(spend)? And up to what "'depth" it be necessary such dismantle to carry out? And in general,maybe, it was better to build the new ships? Only such construction how many would cost? And what time she(it) has required? And whether the navigation as early as years through 50 was held? From the description of expedition(dispatch) it is visible, that for the period of parking and repair the personal structure of expeditions(dispatches) hospitably met by the Portuguese authorities, has managed to have a rest, to be typed(collected) of forces. (' the hospitable reception was rendered to Expedition(dispatch). ... the lieutenant Colonel of the Portuguese service дон Иозеф де Курада, потомок of the famous seafarer Васко де of Din, was extremely hospitable ' [Нозиков Н. Н.]).
By what image Ю. Ф. Лисянский has got the experience which has allowed it(him) to execute preparation expedition(dispatch): to buy and to repair the ships?
' There has come(stepped) spring, and Лисянский has set off on north. It(he) has visited in Нью Йорке, Нью Port. It(he) was interested by(with) shipyards, docks, statement of shipbuilding business ' [Фирсов And. И.].
Similarly it(he) behaved and in other countries. An example: ' On advice of the ambassadorial officials Лисянский and Баскаков at first наведались in Greenwich, but then have got over in the London suburb Комбервелл. (...) the First trip have made in Вулвич, have examined thoroughly famous shipyards, workshops, storehouses ' [Фирсов And. И.].
Let's note, that on the first round-the-world expedition(dispatch) 1803-1806 years the process of organization distant sea плаваний has not stopped; have followed new, And. Ф. Крузенштерн accepted in initiation and preparation of a number(line) of such expeditions(dispatches) most active participation.
It is possible to assume, that on the moment of a beginning of preparation of expedition(dispatch) Ю. Ф. Лисянский was most prepared for round-the-world travels from among the Russian citizens: as корабел, as the organizer of expedition(dispatch), as the battle(dashing) seaman, as the navigator, as the man having knowledge, concerning to round-the-world плаваниям, as the man owning the English language and able to orient not only in the British society(community), but also in local environment(Wednesday) of Russian embassy in London.
