The Nevsky Works in Saint Petersburg built General-Admiral, although the yard's institutional history is difficult to pin down. A commonly cited date traces the later enterprise only to 1911, decades after the cruiser was built on the site. The mismatch shows why a company's formal founding date may not describe the full history of its yard or predecessor works.
