Artillery Bay small, suitable only for small ships, located in the very center of the city. At the end of the 19th century. served as a port for commercial ships arriving in Sevastopol. Merchant ships that brought provisions from the army commissariat stood here and stopped sailing ships with forest and vegetables. Now in Artillery Bay there is a ferry pier and a pier for ships and boats.

long, deep. It is the second largest after Sevastopol, with a length of 2.4 km, dividing the southern side of the city into Korabelnaya and Central City. It is located away from the sea, the water in it is always calm, steep slopes allow large ships to approach the very shore; the absence of sea and river sediments, convenient configuration of the banks, and non-freezing water create favorable conditions for the fleet. Immediately upon the founding of Sevastopol, it was chosen for the anchorage of ships; it perfectly accommodated the entire squadron. In the Sevastopol and Southern bays in the 19th century. the entire Black Sea Fleet was there. Nowadays, a pier has been built in the South Bay for large ships and the marine terminal. In the 80s of the XIX century. The southern bay was allocated for a commercial port, piers, warehouses for goods, mainly grain and salt, and a new customs house were built.
In the summer, you can take a boat trip along the South Bay on boats that depart from the Kornilov embankment and the Grafskaya pier.

Ship Bay small, jutting into the eastern shore of the South Bay, near Pavlovsky Cape. It has the shape of a hook, the depth of the bay allows ships to approach the very shore, so piers were built here, later the Admiralty, and five dry docks. The shores of the bay were surrounded by large granite embankments, on which shops, barracks, and port offices were located; bollards for mooring ships were installed along the embankments. Yuzhnaya and Korabelnaya bays were the military harbor of Sevastopol. Now on the shore of Korabelnaya Bay there is a Marine Plant named after. S. Ordzhonikidze.

East of the South lies - deep, narrow, but small. In November 1782, to support the ground forces in Crimea, two frigates (No. 8 and No. 11), later “Brave” and “Caution,” were transferred here from Kherson. Their overall command was exercised by a captain of the 1st rank. THEM. Odintsov. These frigates were the first Russian ships to remain for the winter in Akhtiarskaya (Sevastopol) Bay. In winter, the sailors took measurements of the bays and put the frigates in order. They chose a convenient deep bay for keeling ships (keeling is cleaning the bottoms of ships from shells and algae, tilting them on their side). Later, a special pier for keeling was built in the bay, and the swamp at the end of the bay was drained. In 1836-1850, the bay embankment was landscaped according to the design of engineer Vlasov. The Black Sea Fleet ship repair yard is still located in Kilen Bay.
Kilen Bay was also called Avlita (Greek - Reed Bay). The toponym recalls the small medieval town of Avlita, which is believed to have been located in the Kilen Bay area. In the XIV century. The principality of Theodoro (Mangup), striving to access the sea, builds the port of Avlitu, and for its protection at the mouth of the river. Chernoy - Kalamitu fortress. The port of Avlita was apparently destroyed by the Turks in 1475, after the capture of the capital of the principality of Theodoro.

Quarantine Bay- long, winding, on its western bank there are the ruins of ancient Chersonesus, on east coast After the founding of Sevastopol, a quarantine was established.

Streletskaya Bay extends deep into the shore, on which an artificial embankment was built for ships to berth. Vessels moored at the embankment are protected by the head of the pier. “Streletskaya” in the conversations of Sevastopol residents usually means the entire area adjacent to Gagarin Avenue, formerly called Streletskoye Shosse. The name of the bay was first mentioned by P.P. Pallas in 1793. The origin of the toponym is controversial. Perhaps the name of the bay goes back to the 40-gun frigate “Strela”, which was part of the Black Sea Fleet from 1783 to 1788. Over the years, the ship could have stood in this bay, which was first called Strelskaya, more than once. In 1941-1942, in Streletskaya Bay there was a base for OVR (water area security) boats. Here sailor Ivan Golubets accomplished his feat, at the cost of his own life, preventing the explosion of ammunition on a burning boat.

Round (Sandy) Bay its outline resembles a circle, has a sandy bottom, is very shallow and completely unsuitable for navigation. Already in the 1900s, new houses, dachas, and boarding houses were built on the shore of the bay. Nowadays, the city beach “Omega” is located here, Kid `s camp, boarding house.

Double bay to the southwest of the Round Cape, protruding from its south coast, is divided into two: Reed(eastern) and Cossack(western). Both bays are open north winds, but Kamyshovaya is more convenient and safer for swimming, its shore is elevated, with gentle slopes. In these bays in 1854-1855 there was the main anchorage of the French fleet, and a temporary French town of Camies was built near the shore.
Now on the shores of Kamyshovaya Bay there is the Yugreftransflot enterprise, a shipbuilding plant, a fish canning plant, the Ukrainian Maritime Institute, and a large fishermen’s village.
Cossack Bay on its western shore has a small bay called Salty, near which was salt Lake, where at the end of the 18th century. mined salt. On the shores of Cossack Bay in June 1942, the organized resistance of the defenders of Sevastopol to the fascist invaders continued until the last bullet, and after the liberation of the city in May 1944, the surviving soldiers of the 17th German Army were captured here.

Northern Bay (Perevoznaya) is located on the northern side of Sevastopol, there are berths for boats and ferries. During the liberation of Sevastopol in May 1944, the Northern Bay was crossed by soldiers of the 2nd Guards Army.

Engineering Bay next to the east after Northern. The toponym arose after the construction of the Engineering Department pier was completed at the end of the century. The former name of the bay, Kurinaya, is explained by the fact that before the Crimean War there were food warehouses with grain here, which attracted many chickens.

Holland Bay located on the northern shore of Sevastopol Bay. At the beginning of the 19th century, a timber warehouse was built on its banks for the construction and repair of ships. Since the beginning of the 18th century, similar warehouses were called Holland in the Russian fleet (the first such warehouse, created at the founding of St. Petersburg, was called New Holland.

Suharnaya Bay located east of Holland. The bay was named so because in the 20s of the 19th century. In the ravine on the shore, a large bakery was built with dryers for the production of crackers for the Black Sea Fleet. After Crimean War As a result of a sharp reduction in the Black Sea Fleet, large quantities of crackers were no longer required, and the bakery was closed. The artillery arsenal of the Black Sea Fleet was located in Sukharnaya Balka during the Great Patriotic War. Here, on June 25, 1942, the Red Navy soldier A. Chikarenko accomplished his feat, blowing up an adit with ammunition when the Nazis broke through to the arsenal and entered the adit.

Grafskaya Bay the easternmost of those flowing into Sevastopol Bay from the north. Here at the end of the 18th century there was a farm belonging to the commander (from 1786 to 1790) of the Sevastopol squadron of the Black Sea Fleet, Rear Admiral Count M.I. Voinovich. This bay, as well as the famous Count's Marina, owes its name to him. Grafskaya Bay is also called Neftegavan.

The largest of the Sevastopol bays is Sevastopol Bay itself. Its other names are Ktenus, Ktenunt, Kalamita Estuary, Korsun Sivash, Akhtiarskaya, Inkermanskaya, Bolshaya, Big Roadstead, Sevastopol Roadstead, Main Roadstead, Chersonesos Estuary. In the Sevastopol Bay there are smaller bays: Yuzhnaya, Severnaya, Artileriyskaya, Holland, etc.

While walking along the embankment, we were enticed to take a ride on a pleasure boat along the entire Sevastopol Bay.

Our boat trip took place on this trough. A portrait of Stalin hung next to the helm; the ship was steered by a young guy - a true patriot of Sevastopol and Russia.

3. Sevastopol Bay is stuffed with ships Black Sea Fleet Russia. The photo shows the large landing ship "Yamal".

Cape Pavlovsky. On the shore you can see the obelisk of the destroyer Svobodny, which broke into the besieged city on June 10, 1942 during the second defense of Sevastopol, escorting a transport loaded with food and ammunition. The destroyer was attacked by fifteen German bombers and, despite the courage of the crew, sank.

In addition to warships, the bay contains a large number of civil courts.

Suddenly, the raid longboat RBK-1299 of the Russian Black Sea Fleet sailed past us. In the background are ships of the Ukrainian fleet.

The rescue ship "Epron" is a veteran of the Black Sea Fleet, it is more than fifty years old, took part in many rescue operations, refloated several dozen ships and civilian vessels in the Black Sea and Mediterranean seas, ensured the evacuation of refugees from Sukhumi in 1993.

The sea tug "MB-23" is part of the Black Sea Fleet, provides mooring, towing of ships and vessels, and is on duty as part of the rescue squad. Every year it participates in ship gathering cruises, providing artillery and missile firing and equipping target positions.

The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet is the guards missile cruiser Moskva. Designed to strike large enemy surface ships, ensure combat stability of ship-based anti-submarine groups, air defense of remote formations, and fire support.

The cruiser is equipped with P-1000 Vulcan missile systems capable of carrying nuclear warheads with a yield of 350 kilotons. From August 10 to August 23, 2008, the ship, as part of a naval formation of heterogeneous forces, took part in supporting the peacekeeping operation “Peace Enforcement”, being in the eastern part of the Black Sea.

Rocket hovercraft "Samum" and small rocket ship"Mirage".

The patrol ship "Pytlivy" (side number 808), then the large anti-submarine ships "Smetlivy" (810) and "Kerch" (713).

A large grain terminal was built in Sevastopol (pictured in the background), capable of storing 100 thousand tons of grain and loading it at a speed of 1200 tons per hour.

Almost all Navy Ukraine, at the time of our boat trip, fit into one frame. U510 is the control ship “Slavutich”, U310 is the patrol ship “Izmail”, U500 is also a control ship converted from a floating workshop. The remaining ships of the Ukrainian fleet were apparently at sea for exercises. Ukraine also has one Submarine, which, they say, if it dives, it will never surface again.

A ferry runs regularly between Artillery Bay and the northern shore of Sevastopol Bay, because by car you have to make a journey of about 40 km by land. “Admiral Lazarev” crosses the bay in a few minutes, which is of course faster, and transporting a car costs about the same as it would be spent on gasoline.
