Vasily Berkov
Vasily Ivanovich Berkov (Russian: Василий Иванович Берков) (Dutch: Wicher Berkhoff)〔In the Eastern Slavic naming system the official form of address was and still is a person’s Christian name followed by its patronymic (no surname). Similarity of sound probably caused the Dutch Christian name “Wicher“ to be changed into “Vasily”. The patronymic “Ivanovich” will be used when the father’s name is unknown. The Russian family-name “Berkov” too, will have been chosen for its sound similarity.〕 (Vriezenveen, Netherlands, 21 August 1794 – Saint Petersburg, Russia, 5 April 1870) was a Russian shipbuilder and from 1829-1870 Director of the Admiralty Shipyard of Saint Petersburg, possibly in the rank of Counter-Admiral.〔According to Polovtsov (1896-1918), Berkov was "Head of the City Wharfs in Saint Petersburg (начальник с.-петербургской городской верфи)". The biography ends in 1840. According to Janssen and Jonker (ca. 1955), Berkov was "Head of the Naval Wharfs of Saint Petersburg (Chef van de Marinewerven in Sint-Petersburg)" and obtained the "rank and/or title (possible ) of Admiral (titel van Admiraal)". Harmsen (1966), states that Berkov was "Head of the Naval Wharf of St. Petersburg (Chef van de Marinewerf te St. Petersburg)". Hosmar (1976), claims Berkov was "Head of the Naval Wharfs of Kronstadt (Chef der Marinewerven in Kroonstad)" and was addressed as "Admiral". Hosmar (1986), cites an undated letter in Dutch translation of Berkov to the Czar in which he refers to himself as “Vice-Admiral (Vice-Admiraal)”, a three star Admiral rank. According to Holtrop and Van Staalduine (2005), Death Registers, Berkov had at the time of his death the social class position of "Acting State Councilor (staatsraad in werkelijke dienst)". According to the Russian social class system (Табель о рангах) this is civilian rank class 4 (Действительный статский советник), of a total of fourteen. The corresponding Czarist Navy rank is Counter-Admiral (Контрадмирал), a one star Admiral rank. According to Berkov, in: ''EBE'' (2009), Berkov was "Head of the Office of the City Wharfs in Saint Petersburg (начальник конт. СПб. город. верфи)" until his retirement in 1859. According to Berkhof (2011), Berkov was until his death in 1870 "(Acting-)Director of the Admiralty Shipyard ((Waarnemend-) Directeur van de Admiraliteitsscheepswerf)". Berkov would have reached the civilian rank of Acting State Councilor in 1866. Berkhof states that (at the moment) no original source material available is which conclusively proves that Berkov held a Navy Admiral rank. According to Berkhof the title of Admiral should be considered as hearsay, based on the name of Admiralty Shipyard.〕 Berkov deserves special credit for his translations of West-European literature on shipbuilding, into the Russian language. He was one of the so-called , a Dutch community in 18th and 19th century Saint Petersburg, most of whose members originated from (Berkov's native village) Vriezenveen.
== Education ==
The son of carpenter Albert Berends Berkhoff and Berendina van den Bosch, Berkov left his native village at an early age for Saint Petersburg. There, his grandparents Frederik van den Bosch and Clasina de Vries took him into their care.〔 Harmsen (1966). According to Berkhof (2011), Van den Bosch (1742-1811) and De Vries (ca.1740-after1811) were his grandparents.〕 Unlike many of his fellow villagers who went into trade,〔 Van Wijngaarden (2007), pag. 39〕 Berkov decided on a career in the shipbuilding industry. In 1815〔 Polovtsov (1896-1918)〕/16〔 Berkov. Retrieved 10 March 2011, from: http://persons-info.com〕 he successfully completed his six-year’s civilian apprenticeship program〔 20 August 1798. Retrieved 10 March 2011, from: http://www.navy.su〕 at the College for Shipbuilding Architecture in Saint Petersburg as a Shipwright.
