Apostol Paviel was a passenger-cargo, sidewheel steamer built for a Russian shipping company. During World War I, it was requisitioned by the Imperial Russian Navy and converted into a minesweeper. In 1918, it was handed over to the Red Finns by the Bolsheviks, captured by the Whites, and sold to Estonia. In the Estonian Navy, it was renamed Ristna. Along with other Estonian vessels, it was taken over by the Soviet Union in 1940. The ship survived World War II and appeared in Soviet films. It was scrapped in 1958.
