 The battleship "Kniaz Potemkin Tarritcheski", later renamed "Panteleimon" then "Boretz Za Svobodu", was derelict and being scrapped at the time of the film shoot.It is usually stated that the battleship "Twelve Apostles" was used instead, but she was a very different design of vessel from the "Potemkin", and the film footage matches the Battleship "Rostislav" more closely.The "Rostislav" had been scuttled in 1920, but her superstructure remained completely above the water until 1930.
