Сплав леса по Обводному каналу, 1952—1959

The obvodny canal was dug to reduce flooding. Time and science have shown that the obvodny canal is useless in combating floods. However, it turned out to be convenient for cargo transportation, connecting various industrial zones between the seaport and the river port located on the neva near the alexander nevsky lavra. Timber was also floated along the canal. Photo from the 1950s. Date: 1952—1959.
