It was one of the Kolomna class of cargo ships, project 233.^[5] The ship was named in honor of town Nyezhin (Russian pronunciation) or Nezhyn (Ukrainian pronunciation) in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in USSR and Ukraine now.

History

The construction of the ship Nezhin commenced in 1953 in Rostock, GRD. The ship was built and handed over to Black Sea Shipping Company in July, 1954. Only two ships of Kolomna-class ships was built for Black Sea Shipping Company: Nezhin and Smela. And both this ships were built in July 1954. All other Kolomna-class ships worked in other Shipping Companies of the USSR.

Voyages to Egypt and Syria

Stoker Nikolay and electrician Shumilov (his eyes are closed) of the Soviet ship Nezhin and Syrians on board of this ship in Syria. Photo maden between June 1956 and 1958. Shumilov and husband of Lena (to see photo in Venezia) were friends. Shumilov died when his car crashed in Odessa in 1980-s.

New young stoker joined the ship Nezhin in May 1956. The ship sailed to Egypt.

Soviet Foreign Minister Shepilov Dmitry Trofimovich visited Syria in June 1956. He offered that in addition to political and economic aid can be military aid from the Soviet Union to the young Syrian state.^[6]

Next voyage of the ship Nezhin was to Syria in summer 1956. The ship Nezhin often visited Syria and Egypt in 1956 and later. Cargoes for discharge in this countries were loaded in Soviet Union. Sometimes was loaded military cargo for discharge in Siria or Egypt.

Voyage to Algeria

It is difficulty to say when directly was voyage to Algeria, sometimes Nikolay in doubt it was on Nezhin or on the ship Metallurg Anosov in the middle of the 1960s. Seems one voyage was on the ship Nezhin in period from 1957 to summer 1960.

Since the beginning of the liberation war against colonial France from 1954 to 1962 the USSR rendered full support to Algeria. It included speeches in defense of the Algerian people in the United Nations, in various international forums, providing financial, material and military assistance, the organization of solidarity campaigns on an international scale with Algerians struggle for freedom and independence.^[7] The ship brought cargo to Algeria. The ship dropped anchor at Algerian port and was awaiting free berth. Due to the war in Algeria one small military catter kept guard at the ship Nezhin to prohibit the ship from divers or torpedo boat attack.

Voyage to Venice

Crew members of the Soviet steam ship Nezhin on the Piazza San Marco in Venezia. Photo was taken between 1958 and March of 1960.

Voyages through Suez Canal

Seems this voyages were carried between 1958 and September 1960. The ship Nezhin brought the cargoes from the USSR to North Yemen, Hodeidah port.

The underwater part of the ship Nezhip hull was re-painted in light grey color, seems before 1960.

Only one voyage of Nezhin was from Black Sea to Ceylon and seems it was between end of 1959 and September 1960.

Reapair in Bulgaria

The ship's repair commenced in spring or summer 1960 and completed in the end of 1960 or in the first part of January 1961. Lena, to see photo in Venezia, was not on board in Bulgaria.

Preparations for the filming of movie "Striped Trip" commenced in April and May 1960.

Re-equipment of the ship for liquid fuel

One side of card from the personnel department of Black Sea Shipping Company as confirmation that the person worked on the ships Nezhin, Karaganda, Metallurg Anosov. Only this person worked on this 3 ships.

After sailing from Bulgaria the ship Nezhin arrived in Odessa and commenced re-equipment for liquid fuel. Nikolay was sign off for vacation from the steam ship Nezhin on the 16 of January, 1961. His next ship was steamer Karaganda.

So, the steamer Nezhin became the motor ship Nezhin from 1961.

Azov Sea Shipping Company

Azov Sea region management of Black Sea Shipping Company was created in Zhdanov in 1953. Azov Sea region management was reorganized in Azov Sea Shipping Company in 1967. It is why some ships of Black Sea Shipping Company ships were handed over changed to Azov Sea Shipping Company and home port was changed from Odessa to Zhdanov. So, two sister ships Nezhin and Smela were transferred to Azov Sea Shipping Company in 1969 or in 1967.

The fate

The last voyage of the ship Nezhin was from Azov Sea, seems from Zhdanov port, to La Spezia in 1978^[8] and then the ship was scrapped in 1978.
