Abstract
Relevance of the article. The article raises the problem of studying the history of the Russian fleet in the XIX - early XX centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, despite the existence of the Russian navy for more than a century, there were practically no works on its history, when the available works on this topic were largely journalistic in nature. It should be noted that purely research activity in the history of the Russian fleet began in the 1920s, and systematic works on the naval history of Russia, based on a scientific approach, appeared only in the second half of the 19th century. At the same time, conceptually, naval historiography was theoretically formalized only at the beginning of the 20th century.
Purpose articles: explore the development of Russian naval historiography in the 19th – early 20th centuries.

Results. The study shows the detailed work done by domestic historians on the study of naval history. In fact, the result of the study of the history of the Russian fleet was the formation of a scientific and philosophical concept of history.
