EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1855, offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts The Straits of Yenikale, a vital waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Azov Sea, with the picturesque town of Kerch in the background. The scene is captured from the old Fort of Yenikale, a historic Russian fortress that has played a significant role in various military conflicts, most notably the Crimean War. During the Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, the Fort of Yenikale served as a crucial defensive position for the Russian forces. Thousands of soldiers, both Russian and allied, camped in the area, setting up tents and barracks to prepare for battle. The photograph reveals a bustling military camp, with soldiers going about their daily routines, tending to their horses, and maintaining their defenses. The Bay of Yenikale, visible in the foreground, was a strategic location for both sides during the conflict. The shallow waters made it difficult for larger naval vessels to navigate, but it provided an advantage for smaller boats and gunboats. The photograph captures the serene beauty of the bay, contrasting the military activity taking place on the land. The town of Kerch, located on the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula, can be seen in the background, with its colorful buildings and bustling activity. Despite the ongoing conflict, life continued in the town, and its residents went about their daily lives as best they could. This photograph offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history, providing a glimpse into the military and civilian life during the Crimean War. The old Fort of Yenikale, with its rich history and strategic location, continues to be an important part of the region's heritage, and this photograph serves as a testament to its significance.
