The monument to Captain A. Kazarsky
The monument perpetuated for every of the heroic deed of the small 18-cannon brig "Mercury", which Kazarsky was a captain of.
On May 26 1829 it had to begin the fight against superior forces of the 2 large Turkish battleships which outnumbered the Russian ship 10 times.
The end of the battle seemed to be predetermined. And also it seem unbelievable: the Russian brig won that battle and returned to the port of Sevastopol.
On the pedestal, that bares a symbolic ancient military vessel, there is a laconic inscription "An example for posterity" ("As an example to the ancestors"), as there was no deed courageous like that in the history of Navies.
