About Zarya

Zarya (Russian: Заря, The Sunrise) was a sailing-motor schooner built in 1952, and since 1953 used by the USSR Academy of Sciences to study Earth's magnetic field. After the Continuation War Finland was ordered by the USSR to provide 50 wooden sailing-motor fishing schooners as reparations. One of them was taken, and in 1952 modified, into a low magnetic research vessel named Zarya for the Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation (IZMIRAN). From 1953 the ship was used to measure the magnetic field of the Earth. In 1957, as part of the International Geophysical Year, the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism of the USSR Academy of Sciences organized a round-the-world expedition aboard the Zarya to conduct magnetic surveys of the oceans. The scientific director of the expedition was geophysicist M. Ivanov, and the ship's captain was A. Yudovich.
