In 1975, on the shipyard of Wartsila in the Finnish city, the Turku took place to be transferred to the Customer - Sovkomflot of the USSR - the new vessel of the passenger ship "Belorussia". This ship was the head in a series of five boats. Initially, all five boats were transferred to the Black Sea Shipping Company of the USSR Mormorflut.
The order was given to the Finnish shipyard not enough - the company Wartsila was already known in the USSR, and there was a lot of experience at Finnish ships in the construction of ferries. With all the external similarity with large-scale passenger ferries, kiced in the Baltic Basin, new ships cannot be called ferries in the usual sense. Ships had only one car deck and applied still for transportation primarily passengers, and then cars between the ports Black Sea coast USSR.

The coin of the Crusaders. Vintage coins are of great value as a source of information about the past times. Spirit focused on them, the fragrance of those epochs that will never return. By touching an old coin, a person seems to be transferred to the past. Such feeling I experienced when I first took a medieval coin of the Crusaders - a penny of Tripoli county. Hiking of the knights in Palestine, who pursued the goal of liberation from Muslims of Jerusalem and the coffin of the Lord, and the foundation of them in the eastern Mediterranean of Christian states had a strong influence on the development of the medieval world. On the Latin East, in Palestine and Syria, the Crusaders in the XI-XIII centuries created four states - the Jerusalem Kingdom, the Principality of Antioch, the Edess County and Tripoli County. All of them minted their own coins, in the images and inscriptions of which European, Islamic and Byzantine elements were mixed. Swimming practice on the steamer "Malakhov Kurgan" ended in late August 1967. The last port of the sunset was Syrian Latakia. This city, as well as the south of Beirut, has practically not suffered from the "six-day war", the world and calm reigned here, active business and trade activities were carried out. At the request of the first assistant captain, the ship agent organized for the crew bus excursion by ancient city. Funds to the event in the ship cultophobe accumulated enough, and they should have been spent in the current flight in order not to deposit for the future. At the appointed time to board the vessel drove up excursion bus And crew members free from watch and work went to a fascinating journey. - The story of Latakia goes back to ancient time. - The story of the young Guide of Fatima, a student of the graduation course of the Faculty of Humanitarian Sciences of the University of Damascus. - The city founded the Phoenicians and called Ramit. The commander of Alexander Great Selevk I renamed the policy in honor of his mother, calling the Laodice. In the Middle Ages in Latakia, as well as in the Middle East, alternately shopped Arabs, Crusaders, Egyptian and Ottoman Sultans. The guide showed well-preserved Roman buildings - the city arch Tetrapil and the remnants of the ancient colonnade, as well as several Christian churches of Byzantine time and medieval Muslim mosques. After inspection of historical sights, the bus made a stop on the popular beach of Shatt Al-Azrac, which is translated as " Cote d'Azur". At the end of the excursion, the guide provided seafarers hour free time so that they could make purchases on the city bazaar - bitch. In search of a memorable souvenir about Latakia, he came to an antique bench, where in the thorah of the old trampoline, a small silver piece of round shape was noticed. - Is it a coin? I asked the owner. - Yes. Coin of the Crusaders. - answered the one. Trader - Arab liked the camera hanging on my shoulder. - Let's change: I am a coin you, you are a camera. On the eve of the flight in the store "Dynamo" on the street Soviet army (now Preobrazhenskaya) for 12 rubles I bought a simple camera "Change". She planned to capture the first meetings with abroad. The flight ended, and this task was practically completed. There was no money after buying gifts no longer remained and not to miss an interesting coin, agreed to the offer of Araba. Returning to the ship, began using the catalog to study your acquisition. The directory has reported that the nominal of my coin - Grosch, they crossed it in the Middle Eastern city of Tripoli around 1275-1287. More detailed information I expected to get already in Odessa at an experienced specialist in the medieval numismatics of Professor Karyshkovsky P.O. With the return of the vessel from the flight, went to the Istfak of the University of Odessa, where Professor headed the History Department ancient Mira and middle ages. - That's right, the seller did not deceive you - this is the coin of the Crusader. - said Peter Osipovich. Professor knew Latin well and easily translated the legend on a coin. - On the obverse indicated the name of the issuer "Septimvs BoemvNDVS" - Bohamund VII, and the Civitas Tripolis SVRIE state is the place of Tripoli in Syria on the reverse. - But Tripoli is not in Syria, but in Lebanon. - I asked. - That's right, it is now, and in the Middle Ages, the boundaries between the states were different. The name of the coin court is indicated in order not to confuse Syrian Tripoli with city of the same name In the north of Africa. - What are the images on the coin mean? - Cross in openwork rims on the front side of a penny is not only a symbol. christian faith , but at the same time the coat of arms of Tripoli county. Three fortress towers on the back side are part of the crusader castle. - answered Professor. Karyshkovsky explained what fortress, in his opinion, depicted on a coin. Some numismatists believe that this is the famous Citadel Krak de Chevalé, the stronghold of the Order of Hospitallers in Syria. But the professor adhered to other opinions. "Castle Krak de Chevalie did not enter the jurisdiction of Tripoli county, and therefore could not be depicted on a tripolitan coin. I believe that on the reverse of this penny depicted towers of the Fortress of Chateau Saint-Gilles, which was located in the city of Tripoli, the capital of the county of the same name. This castle was named after the Graph of Rimon Saint-Zhilsky, the leader of the first crusade and founder of the fortress. By the way, this fortress has been well preserved to this day. - said Peter Osipovich. The professor gave exhaustive information regarding the history of my coin and the tragic destiny of the state, its inhibitory. Tripoli county arose in the north of modern Lebanon during the first crusade. After capturing the cities of Biblie and Tripoli, the Rimon Saint-Zhilsky's army, Count Toulouse, and the conquest of Beirut and Sidon, the King of Jerusalem Beduin I, all the coast of the church, and a significant part of the mountainous areas of the country at the beginning of the XII century were in the hands of the Crusaders. Seaside and mountainous areas north of Bible became part of Tripoli's county, and Beirut and Sidon became vassals of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In the column of Bohamund VI, the Tripoli state in 1268 began to chacking his own coins - Grosso. Count and his successor Boemund VII produced silver coins of two denominations - pennies and half-year. The average weight of the pencil was 4.2 g, and half-year he fluctuated in the range of 1.9 - 2.1 g. At the beginning of his Board, Bohamund VII coins, almost not distinguisia from Grosso Father, but the sample of silver was lower. Tripoli county existed without a small two centuries - from 1105 to 1289 years. After the death of Bohemund VI in 1275, in the state broke out civil engineers. The Upper Society split into two camps, in one ended in the widow of Count Sibylla and the secular chivalry led by the young and hot boat ebony VII, in another - Bishop Tripoli Wilhelm and his supporters who were supported by Knights - Templars. Bohamund VII captured the residence of the order of the Templars in Tripoli and his own manifold killed the Genoese governor, the ally of "Temmers". With Bohamund VII, the crusaders did not fight with Muslims, but preferred to buy peace with them for money. The conclusion of a peace treaty with the Sultan Beibars was worth the county of tripoli 20 thousand gold bazants. Bohemund VII was childless, and after his death in 1287, the new Government of Tripoli named Lucia entered the conflict with the city commune. The head of the commune asked for help to Mamluk Sultan Kelaun. Great Magister The Order of the Templar Gille de God warned the inhabitants of Tripoli's danger, but they did not believe. Kelaun's army found the city by surprise, Mamli burst into the capital of the county and street fighting began. The commandor of the Templar Pierre de Moncada had the opportunity to escape on the gallery sailing to Cyprus, but she chose to stay in Tripoli and died with a sword in his hands, like the rest of the city defenders. So in 1289 the history of Tripoli county was tragic. "If I were asked to call the most beautiful coin, chased by the Crusaders in the Holy Earth, I would choose the tripolitan penny of Bohemund VII. - summed up his story Karyshkovsky. - The design of the coin is striking with its harsh beauty, conciseness and expressiveness. Today, this small coin on the European numismatic market costs good money - 300 euros and above. It is also the way to me how the memory of swimming practice on the steamer "Malakhov Kurgan" and the first acquaintance with abroad.
Vladimir Vysotsky Pooh Anatoly Garagul. We bring to your attention another poem Vladimir Vysotsky - "Well, that's all! Finished deep sleep! "
So that is all! Finished deep sleep!
No one allows anything!
I'm leaving, separate, lonely
On the flying field, from which it takes off!
I will visit the superwater abode,
That the ship is called other people.
My captain, my friend and my Savior!
Come on with you at least something forget!
Forget something - I need, you can!
All - a woman who is familiar!
I remember everything is simply impossible.
Yes, it is simple and no need - what are we?

In 1950 - again the repair and in 1952 the ship transferred to the Odessa-Zhdanov-Sochi line.
In your last flight "Lviv" came out of Odessa on October 11, 1964 and passed throughout the ports of the Black Sea region, where his routes ran during the war.Then the ship was transferred to the most young sailors - children's flotilla. At first, the ship was anchored in Odessa, and then he was transferred to Kherson, where young sailors came to him for more than two decades. The corridors and cabins of the ship filled out future sailors, mechanics, radio players, captains. Many of those who swim around the seas and the oceans of the planet or worked on the most powerful shipbuilding Plants Countries, began their lives on the decks of the ship "Lviv". Spanish liner "internationalist" honestly served his second homeland and worthy of grateful memory of descendants.
An unexpected replenishment for the Black Sea Passenger Fleet after the war was the two former Polish liners. In 1949, Poland arrived from Poland, the "Yagello" couple, which was built in 1939 in Germany for Turkey called "Dogu", then requested by Germany herself. The ship received a new name - "DUALA". The British seized after the war gave him the name "Empire Ock". The vessel took part in military transportation until 1946, when was transmitted Soviet Union According to reparations, which temporarily relocated Poland couplers, where he was given the name "Yagello".
In 1949, the liner was returned to the USSR and got a name "Peter the Great". The ship had a full capacity of 6261 BRT. The length of the liner hull was 125.1 m, the width is 16.1 m, the sediment is 6.63 m. The two steam turbines with a low pressure of the pair allowed the vessel to develop the speed of the full course of 15 nodes.
"Peter the Great" took on board 610 passengers, but the ship turned out to be shaky, with a grueling swing, which scarecrow tourists.
In 1974, the liner was sold at Sathalla to Spain and it was towed to disassemble the Castellon port.
Another liner, which arrived at the Black Sea from Poland, became the ship "Sobski". The ship was built in 1939 on shipyard in Newcastle (United Kingdom). The total capacity of the liner was 11,030 brT. The length of the hull is 155.9 m, the width is 20.5 m, the sediment is 7.72 m.

Liner at one time was specially built for work on the Gdynia line (Gdansk) - New York. During the war, "Sobski", like military transport, took part in landing operations in Narvika, Madagascar, Sicily, Salerno, North African and Normandy. Upon completion of war, the ship was returned in 1946 to the Gdynia line - New York.
In 1950, the Poles transferred the vesselgflot vessel (Odessa Black Sea Company). The motor ship received a new name "Georgia", and started regular flights On the Crimean Caucasus line in the Black Sea. The trouble-free ship was served until April 1975, when it was excluded from the Black Sea Shipping Company and was sold on a layer in the Italian port of La Spice.
As pure trophies after the war, the Black Sea Shipping Company on reparations were transferred from Romania, the ally of Germany, some more vessels. The first actual replenishment of the passenger fleet on the Black Sea was the snow-white handsome liner with the name "Ukraine". This ship before the war belonged to the Royal Romania and then he had semi-finished nickname "White Swan of the Black Sea". And the liners "Bessarabia" and "Transylvania" were designed in Denmark in Romanian order in 1934. June 26, 1938. I entered the "transylvania". Three months later, the construction of "Bessarabia" was completed. It was envisaged that both heights will be used on the line of Constanta - Istanbul - Piraeus - Alexandria - Jaffa - Haifa - Beirut - Alexandria - Piraeus - Istanbul - Constanta. But the beginning of the Second World War crossed these plans. Until April 1940, the liners transported Polish Jews Refugees from Constanta to Beirut. Twice during the war, both liners almost became targets of Soviet submarines, which were out of position to Bosphorus. The Romanian government was forced to delay the return of motor ships to their homeland and leave them on the Ray of Istanbul, until the end of the fighting. Well, then the ways of the boats were separated: "Transylvania" was left Romania, and "Bessarabia" passed the USSR. Romanian "transylvania" until the beginning of the 70s carried out passenger Transportation in black, Aegean and Adriatic seas, near the coast of North Africa. Sometimes she came to Odessa and the ship from far it was possible to accept for the T / d "Ukraine"

It is with the ship "Georgia" and his captain Anatoly Garagulu is associated with a bright page in the history of the cultural life of our city. Vladimir Vysotsky and Marina Vladimir Vasily Aksenov and Bulat Okudzhava, Peter Todorovsky and Vladimir Ivashov are only some of the names of the most famous writers, actors and the directors with whom he was familiar and friendly Anatoly Garagul. Many of them traveled on the old, and on the new "Georgia" in the most popular Crimean Cruises at the time. On this route "Georgia" went infrequently most time vessel performed around the world travelIn which, naturally, Soviet citizens did not participate. Maybe therefore in those rare cases when the motor ship committed domestic flights According to the Black Sea, sometimes a whole company of Friends of Captain was going on it. So, at one of the pictures, Anatoly Garagul, Konstantin Vanchkin, Bulat Okudzhava and Vasily Aksenov. Researchers of creativity Vladimir Vysotsky are known photographs on which he and Marina Vlady are removed on the captain's bridge "Georgia".
