The Monument to the Scuttled Ships

The Monument to the Scuttled Ships is the emblem of Sevastopol, its visiting card.

The monument erected in the main bay is devoted to the Russian sailing vessels sunken in the bay in September 1854 and February 1855 during the Crimean War. Such a difficult action for the Russian sailors and such an unexpected one for the enemy prevented the more powerful Allied British and French Navy from entering Sevastopol Bay. After that the enemy had to besiege the city for a long time.

The monument is 16.66 m in height and is situated on the artificial rock in the water, not far from the shore of the bay. The pillar of the Corinthian order rises above the sea. A bronze eagle with extended wings is on the top of it. The eagle keeps a wreath of laurel in its beak.

The monument survived the World War II.
