General information about Sanzhiika Lighthouse (Sanzhiika)

The Sanzhiika lighthouse is sometimes called the "runaway lighthouse".

In this area of the Black Sea, there are two underwater currents coming from the Bosphorus and Kerch, which poses a danger to passing ships. In 1792-1793, a decision was made to erect a watchtower here and appoint a garrison for duty. To warn ships of danger, sea flags were hung on the tower, and at night - signal lanterns, which became the prototype of a lighthouse.

In 1921, the capital building of the lighthouse was built, of which only a plaque remains today. In 1956, the current building of the Sanzhiika lighthouse was built. But since the sea was approaching the lighthouse tower about a meter a year due to the collapse of the coast, in 2010, without waiting for a critical situation, the l ...

But since the sea was approaching the lighthouse tower about a meter a year due to the collapse of the coast, in 2010, without waiting for a critical situation, the lighthouse was moved 80 meters further from the shore.

Санжійський маяк іноді називають "втікаючим маяком".

У цьому районі Чорного моря зустрічаються дві підводні течії, що йдуть з Босфору і Керчі, що становить небезпеку для суден, що проходять. У 1792-1793 pоках було ухвалено рішення поставити тут сторожову вежу і призначити гарнізон для несення служби. Для попередження кораблів про небезпеку на вежі вивішували морські прапори, а вночі - сигнальні ліхтарі, що стало прообразом маяка.

У 1921 році було збудовано капітальну будівлю маяка, від якої нині залишилася лише табличка. В 1956 році спорудили нинішню будівлю Санжійського маяка. Але оскільки внаслідок обвалення берега море підступало до вежі маяка приблизно на метр на рік, у 2010 році, не чекаючи на критичну ситуацію, маяк перенесли на 80 метрів далі від берега.
