Memorial to the Crew of Toperok Sailing Ship

Gelendzhik, V Rayone Tolstogo Mysa Emb

The monument to the crew of trawler "Topork" was installed on Gelendzhik's Embankment next to Tylos Point. It honors the sailors of the vessel who tragically died on February 6, 1966 between Idocopas Cape and Tylos Point. The monument lists the names of all thirteen members of the crew. A month after the tragedy, a decision was made to install the memorial. Architect G.P. Shapovalov designed the project, while the monument was manufactured by fish collective farm "Paris Commune", which owned the ship.
