Paddle Frigates
This section contains paddle ships with one opened battery (except of Bogatyr‘) and three or (rarely) two masts. Therefore, to say the truth, they ought to be classified as paddle corvettes or paddle brigs, but all of them (except of Amerika) were officially classified as "parokhodofregat\пароходофрегат", which means exactly "steamer-frigate".

Famous quotes containing the word paddle:
“We approached the Indian Island through the narrow strait called “Cook.” He said, “I ‘xpect we take in some water there, river so high,—never see it so high at this season. Very rough water there, but short; swamp steamboat once. Don’t paddle till I tell you, then you paddle right along.” It was a very short rapid. When we were in the midst of it he shouted “paddle,” and we shot through without taking in a drop.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
