Russian brig Merkurii
Merkuriy (Russian: Меркурий, lit. 'Mercury'; Russian pre-reform: Меркурій) was a 20-gun brig—a two-masted sailing warship of the Imperial Russian Navy. It is famous for its lopsided battle with two Ottoman Navy ships, which took place on 26 May [O.S. 14 May] 1829 during the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829. The name Pamiat Merkuria (Russian: Память Меркурия, lit. 'In Memory of Merkuriy') was given to a number of ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
