Про "Алябьев" известно, что он был передан из Западно-сибирского речного пароходства в Иртышское в конце 1960-ых.RIVER HIGHWAYS
Summer cruise on the Irtysh River lures vacationers to Siberia. Such diesel-powered craft as the Alyabiev (above) offer inexpensive excursions—some as long as a month—as well as commuter service between river ports. Near here the Irtysh joins the Ob River; together they make up one of the world's longest river systems. The thousands of navigable streams in the Soviet Union, linked by other inland waterways, carry 150 million passengers and 500 million tons of freight each year. Most of the rivers freeze over in winter, sometimes serving then as temporary roadways; in much of Siberia, ice may limit boat transportation to a three-month season.
