Legendary Sevastopol

This monument was built in 1905 in memory of the 1854 scuttling of the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the Crimean War. The sunken ships served as an underwater wall that protected Sevastopol's harbor from the Allied Brittish, French, and Ottoman Navies. This memorial has become the primary icon for the legendary town of Sevastopol.
