Mercury Russian Brig Kit by Amati
Pursed by the Turkish fleet with unending chase, the Mercury Russian Brig steered swiftly away from the threat of an unequal battle. Testament to the Russian vessel's resiliency, the Mercury was forced to engage in battle yet persevered in its defense. After damaging the fleet, ship by ship, the Mercury cleverly escaped further confrontation and sailed proudly away from danger. It is recorded that after the battle, a navigator of one the Turkish ships made a comment praising Mercury for her gallantry and strength, and the captain for his bravery: “If in the great deeds of ancient or our times there are the feats of bravery, so this act put the others in the shade and the name of a hero should be wrote by the gold letter in the shrine of glory: the captain was Kazarsky, and the name of this brig was “Mercury””
