Russian term or phrase: суденышко
Весной 1710 года Петр пожинал военные плоды Полтавской победы. Русские армии, не встречая сопротивления, прокатились по балтийским провинциям Швеции. В то время, как на юге 30-тысячная армия Шереметева осаждала Ригу, на северо-запад Петр послал генерал-адмирала Федора Апраксина, только что ставшего графом и тайным советником. Во главе 18-тысячного войска он должен был осадить Выборг – город на Карельском перешейке, в семидесяти пяти милях к северо-западу от Петербурга. В 1706 году русские войска безуспешно пытались захватить Выборг с суши, но теперь у них появились новые возможности – на радость Петру, вырос и окреп Балтийский флот. Ознакомившись с планом осады, Петр повелел Апраксину взять город, во что бы то ни стало, а сам на небольшом суденышке вернулся в Петербург. 13 июня 1710 года Выборг с гарнизоном в 154 офицера и 3726 солдат сдался Апраксину, и к северу от Петербурга возникла стомильная защитная полоса.
