Exciting page of history


Let’s open only one page in the history of the Russian fleet. In the year 1938, the Italian general Nobile, who participated in Amundsen’s flight to the pole, decided to repeat the failed journey. Accompanied by prominent scientists and assistants, Nobile flew to the North on an airship “Italy” of his own design.

The expedition was widely advertised. The Pope handed Nobile a cross for installation at the North Pole. Anticipating the glory of the conquest of the North Pole, far from humble Italian general Nobile has captured his ceremonial uniform.

In the third flight, the airship “Italy” stopped radiocommunications. It became clear that a catastrophe had occurred.

In search of Amundsen flew out and left Norwegian and Swedish ships. And we had a Committee for Assistance to the Airship “Italy”, and the most powerful icebreaker “Krasin” went to the Arctic. Our radio amateur received the transfer of Nobile radio.

This allowed us to refine the search area.

Slowly moving mighty “Krasin”, making his way through hummocks three or four meters thick, sometimes passing for a watch half a mile. At this time, the Swedish pilot managed to take General Nobile to the first flight, but the plane crashed during the secondary landing.

The first radiograms of our flight reconnaissance were very disappointing. Soon our pilots discovered three members of the expedition, but, having made a far from successful landing, could not rise. The depths not yet measured, the bottom unknown to anyone, the fogs that are impenetrable to the eyes, are so thick that even in the semicircle from the bow of the ship you can not see anything, everything could delay the search for the expedition for a long time.

“Krasin” came with the maximum speed in the ice, and suddenly on the horizon at the top of a low hummock there was noticed something dark. There is no doubt: by raising one’s hands up, there is a man, and at his feet someone is lying. The ship comes nearer, and the team carries a member of the expedition,

exhausted, with the legs frozen by the legs, followed by two more. A few hours later, the second group of expedition members was discovered and accepted on the ship. A few days later, Krasin handed over seven rescued to the Italian ship.

A Czech professor, one of the members of the expedition of the Italian crew, expressed his feelings: “The aboard aboard the Krasin is unforgettable.” Without the help rendered by the Russians, seven people would be dead. “The feat of the Russian rescue expedition is indelible in the memory of mankind.”
