So close! It is infact the Popov's sister ship. The Novgorod.

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/aj.cashmore/russia/battleships/novgorod/novgorod.html

A circular Russian battleship built in 1873. Designed to give maximum stability for it's two guns. However, because of the shape the six propellers and twelve keels did not allow for easy steerage so both ships were used for coastal defence. Grin

You couldn't make it up. Wink Shocked 8)

Damn! I'd curse in Russian, but I only know one expression and can't spell it.
Those are sure some wacky ships. Put a couple palm trees on the deck and you'd think it was an island!  Cheesy
I guess my consolation prize is my newfound knowledge of Russian naval history; my Russian grandfather would be proud.

I wouldn't curse too much. After all, either photo could be of either ship. After all, we're only taking the word of the websites we got the pictures off. Wink

While on the subject of whose word to believe I've seen some accounts saying that they proved successful which seems to contradict this. The Tsar also had a private yacht based on the design. I believe this was built in a Scottish shipyard.
