Immediately after the founding of the new Russian capital St. Petersburg in 1703, not only the city, which still was under construction, had to be secured against maritime attackers, but also the Neva estuary in the Gulf of Finland. The result was a gigantic reconstruction program that extended well into the First World War.
With 89 historic illustrations (also some colour pictures of 2007).
