Project of a canal from Oranienbaum up to Neva by the Fontanka’s
mouth. Part of the canal facing Neva was built, when B.-Ch. Minich
sent to Peter I his works about fortification and a project of
construction of navigable canal in the area of Pella-Ivanovo.
From 1722 B.-Ch. Minich began the construction of the canal along
the south shore of the gulf, from Fontanka’s mouth to Yekaterinhof,
then to Strelna. Manuscript original map is kept in Paris, in
the Royal Library (now National Library), the stamp “Bibliotheque
Royale” proves that. From the J.-N. Delisle’s collection.
