Manufacturing of Military Products According to Naval Orders by Mining Plants of the Urals at the End of the 18th — First Quarter of the 19th Centuries
( Pp. 18-24)

The purpose of the research. The article discusses the organization of the implementation of orders of the maritime department by state-owned mining plants in the Urals. Based on materials from federal and regional archives, as well as regulations, the formation of a system for the supply of metals and other products for the fleet at the end of the 18th century is shown. According to the Manifesto of May 21, 1779, only state-owned mining plants were to carry out orders for the army and navy. At the beginning of the 19th century with the approval of instructions for the acceptance of guns, shells and metals from mining plants, a regulatory supply base for army and navy orders is formed. The author is noted that Ural enterprises supplied iron for the needs of shipbuilding and port construction, anchors and cast iron for ballast. In the first quarter of the 19th century the specialization of the region's mining plants in the production of products for the Baltic ports and the Arkhangelsk port took shape. Some of the metals and anchors were sent to the Black Sea ports. With the increase in military threat on the eve and during the Napoleonic wars and the growth of shipbuilding, the volume of orders of the naval department increased. As a result, already in the second decade of the 19th century mining factories could not fully carry out military orders.
