Pierre Legrand (pseudonym of Pjotr Alexejevitsch, Czar of Russia, born 1672 in Moscow (Russia), died 1725 in Dunkerque (France)), came to France in 1697 after a four-month stay in Zaandam, Holland, where he had learned the rudiments of ship-building, and some new words: he gave the Russian language the word "bushprit", derived from the Dutch "boegspriet" (bowsprit).
