Russian ship of the line Vola (original) (raw)

Vola (Russian: Вола) was an 84-gun ship of the line built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the mid-1830s. The ship was assigned to the Baltic Fleet for her entire career. She was one of the ships deployed to Denmark during the First Schleswig War of 1848–50 to help preserve Denmark's territorial integrity against Prussia. The ship was converted to steam power in 1854–57 and cruised the Baltic Sea in 1857–61 before she was placed in ordinary. Vola was stricken from the navy list in 1871 and sold for scrap.
