Notes Simon Sebag Montefiore in his book about Potyomkin mentions that this happened on April 25 1787 during the Crimean journey of Catherine the Great. While traveling down Dnieper, she stopped by Kaniow (which was on the Polish bank of Dnieper) to meet with King of Poland Stanislaw Poniatowski. Unhappy with the meeting, Catherine left Kaniow the same day, barely looking at the fireworks, which Poniatowski wanted to appease Catherine with.
