Since the 1920s, there were water lines inside Petrozavodsk Bay - passenger pier - Peski - Solomennoye (until 1962), passenger pier - Devil's Chair (weekend line, until mid-1977), passenger pier - Zimnik (until 2005) - Lamb Coast (until 2009).

In 1960, the first high-speed hydrofoil ship appeared in the bay - “Rocket”, since 1964 - “Meteora”, since 1966 - “Comets”, since 1986 - “Colchis”. Currently there are high-speed water lines to Kizhi, Sennaya Bay, Velikaya Guba and Shala.

In the post-war period, pleasure cruises along Petrozavodsk Bay on displacement and high-speed vessels were widely developed, but have now been almost completely discontinued.

There are several marinas for private small fleets, yachts and small seaplanes.

History of intracity passenger water lines within the bay

Until the 1920s, there were irregular pleasure trips on steamships to Solomennoye, often of a charitable nature, raising funds to help orphans, military personnel, etc., also in the 1910s, a steamship owned by a timber mill in Solomennoye transported from the city to plant and back to the workers of this plant. From the beginning of 1923, the North-Western River Shipping Company opened a line from the passenger pier to Solomennoye, the ship Shipovka operated on it, and from 1925, some of the flights were extended along Logmozero to Shuya.

Since 1928, the Kudama steamship operated on the line, at the same time the line began to operate flights calling at the Zimnik pier, as well as weekend flights to the Peski and Devil's Chair piers (both NWRP steamships and motorboats of the Karelian OSVOD - lake trams "Soviet Karelia" and No. 2).

In winter, from February 1929, a bus line to Solomennoye was opened on the ice of the Petrozavodsk Bay, flights were carried out until the construction of the road to Solomennoye.

Since the late 1920s, the cargo-passenger steamship “Worker Leader” (later named “Nuorteva” since 1933, “Onezhets” since 1938) has been operating on the line. In the 1930s, the line also had additional steamships "Rosa Luxemburg" and "Petrozavodsk"

In the summer of 1941, the White Sea-Onega Shipping Company built the Peski pier with the organization of a passenger pavilion and ticket offices, but due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War and low passenger traffic, regular traffic to the pier was stopped.

In the post-war period, since 1945, the steamship of the White Sea-Onega Shipping Company "Narva" operated on the line Petrozavodsk - Solomennoye - Zimnik, which was replaced in 1946 by the "Dzhambul" received as reparations from Finland. The steamboat also began to call at the pier Baraniy Bereg.

In 1959, the Okun boat began operating on the Petrozavodsk-Zimnik-Baraniy Bereg line, and since the 1960s, motor ships Lermontov, Dnepro-Bug, Om-337 and Om-344 of the Om type, Mo- 94, M-172.

In 1960-1962, there was a service of five-seater taxi boats operating on the routes Petrozavodsk-Baraniy Bereg, Petrozavodsk-Zimnik, Petrozavodsk-Devil's Chair, Petrozavodsk-Solomennoe.

In 1962, the Petrozavodsk-Solomennoye line was closed due to unprofitability. The pier and passenger pavilion from Solomennoye were transported to the Devil's Chair, where weekend flights began to operate (until 1977).

There were plans to build new passenger piers in Sainavolok and on Klyuchevaya with the organization of a circular weekend line Sainavolok - Klyuchevaya - Water Station - Sands - Solomennoe - Devil's Chair - Zimnik - Baraniy Bereg - Sainavolok.

Also in the 1960-1970s, additional flights on the Petrozavodsk-Zimnik-Baraniy Bereg line were served by service ships Mezen, Sputnik and Klaipeda.

Since the late 1970s, the motor ship "Belomorye" (type "Alexander Green") also operated on the line - on the circular line water station-Zimnik-Baraniy Bereg - water station. Since 1985, it was replaced by Moskovsky-2. In the 1990s, the service and auxiliary “Captain Zaonegin” also worked on the line.

In 2004, flights to Zimnik were stopped due to the destruction of the pier by the elements; only the line to Baraniy Bereg remained.

In 2006, the White Sea-Onega Shipping Company TC planned to organize flights to Zimnik on the hovercraft Khivus-10-70, but only a few flights were made. In 2008, the line began to be served by the Belomorye vessel instead of Moskovsky-2, and in 2009 by the Kizhi Ozherelye (Moskovsky-23). In 2010, the intra-city water line Water Station - Baraniy Bereg was finally closed due to the refusal of Kareliaflot LLC from previously assumed obligations to carry out transportation. With the closure of this line, regular passenger transportation within the bay was stopped.

Currently, among the passenger piers in Petrozavodsk Bay (with the exception of the berths of the water station), the Baraniy Bereg pier is preserved in unsatisfactory condition.

Usage

From the 1930s to 1977, there was a hydroport in the waters of Petrozavodsk Bay, and until the 1980s there was an ice platform for An-2 aircraft.

Previously, there was fishing near the fishing collective farms of the Prionezhsky region, at present there is only amateur fishing.

In winter, the bay is actively used by winter sports enthusiasts.

Beaches and recreation areas

On the shores of the bay there are popular Sands beach and vacation spots - Baraniy Bereg, Sainavolok, Devil's Chair.

Memorable events and places

• The site of the wreck on August 25, 1932 of a motor boat with workers heading to wood harvesting on Baraniy Bereg. 6 people died, including 4 foreign workers. 4 people were saved by the Osnova boat that came to the rescue.
• The site of the death of a barge with evacuated residents of Petrozavodsk. In September 1941, a barge towed by the steamship Kingisepp came under fire from a Finnish battery in the Ivanovo Islands area, killing more than 100 people.
• Landing site of the Onega military flotilla on June 28, 1944.
• The storm of 1977 - the Petrozavodsk hydroport and seaplanes were damaged, was one of the reasons for the liquidation of the port.

EXPEDITION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS OF SEA AND LAND WATER

Expedition of the Department of Physics of Sea and Land Waters to Lake Onega

On September 14, 2007, 2 5th year students and 2 employees of the Department of Physics of Sea and Land Waters of the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University went on an expedition to Lake Onega in Karelia. Evening, Leningradsky station, branded train “Karelia” - and all the troubles of preparing for the expedition, sending a car with valuable equipment, signing the last documents, etc. are behind us. There are 8 days of hard, but very interesting work ahead.

On September 15, the group arrived aboard the ship "Ecologist". After a short rest, we unloaded the car with the equipment and by evening the entire measuring complex was assembled. On the morning of the 16th, an expedition, which included students Dolgopolov Yu.M., Litvinov E.A. and senior lecturer of the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences Budnikov A, A., under the leadership of the senior lecturer of the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences Samolubova B.I. start of measurement. The work was carried out jointly with the scientific group of the Institute of Northern Water Problems of the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Lake Onega (Onego) is the second largest freshwater lake in Europe, occupying the 20th in area and 24th in volume among the lakes of the Earth. The length of the lake is 245 km, width 88 km, area 9943 sq. km, maximum depth - 119 m. Lake Onega is a key link in a single deep-water system of the European part of Russia, connecting the Baltic and White Seas, as well as having access to the Black and Azov Seas. 52 rivers flow into the lake.

The studies continued for 6 days. On September 17, the group received significant reinforcement in the person of the head of the Department of Physics of Sea and Land Waters, Professor K.V. Pokazeev. Konstantin Vasilyevich specially came to Lake Onega to make sure that the expensive modern equipment recently purchased by the department was working efficiently and reliably. The fact is that during the expedition, a measuring complex was used, which included, in addition to the probes and gradient installation that were used previously, new high-precision equipment: a Doppler flow velocity profiler RDCP-600 and a multi-parameter probe RCM 9 LW.

These devices, manufactured by AANDERAA INSTRUMENTS (Norway), make it possible to record not only the vertical distributions of the current velocity vector, but also temperature, electrical conductivity, water turbidity and dissolved oxygen concentration. All measurements were accompanied by continuous recording of meteorological parameters. Invaluable assistance in mastering this new equipment was provided by the leading researcher of INFOMAR Company LLC V.V. Elisov, who was also part of the expedition.

The objectives of the expedition included: 1. Carrying out measurements of distributions of current velocities, concentrations of salts, oxygen, suspended matter and water temperature along the depth of the lake (along the entire length of the streams studied) and performing long-term series of soundings over time. 2. Study of water dynamics and diffusion of impurities to study the mechanisms of mass transfer and develop methods for predicting the formation of water quality in the lake under the influence of stratified currents.

On the first day of measurements, Petrozavodsk Bay was surveyed at 15 stations using Sea-Sun, RCM 9 LW probes, a coductometer and an Expert oximeter, and a transparency meter. The work was carried out in conditions close to calm. Intensive measurements yielded interesting results.

The structure of the current velocity fields and water composition parameters in Petrozavodsk Bay has been revealed. A thermally stratified bottom current was discovered that transported impurities from the bay to the open lake. The flow trajectory ran along the line of maximum depths away from the water intake zone of the water supply system of Petrozavodsk.

Thus, the current registered and studied in detail by us prevented the dangerous involvement of pollution from the Shuya River into this system. Such involvement is especially strong during the development of the spring and autumn thermal bar in the lake. The main part of impurities, at least significant ones, was transported from the mouth of the river. Shuya current discovered by our expedition. The thickness of the near-bottom flow, propagating at depths up to 35 m, was 2–4 m, the speed reached 12 cm/s. When leaving the bay into an open lake, the current broke off from the bottom and moved in the form of an underwater jet over the surface of waters of higher density.

On the axial line of the recorded current, regular observations were made at a daily station with measurements of the current velocity profiles over the entire depth from the surface to the bottom at a point with a depth of 26 m every 10 min with an RDCP-600 Doppler meter placed on the bottom. At the same time, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, concentration of dissolved oxygen, and changes in the water surface level were measured with the same discreteness on the setting horizon.

At the same time, using Sea-Sun probes, RCM 9 LW, coductometer and oximeter "Expert" and a transparent meter developed at our department, with a discreteness of 30 minutes, detailed records were made of vertical distributions of temperature, electrical conductivity of water, concentrations of dissolved oxygen, suspension and chlorophyll-a. The structure of the currents was determined mainly by strong drift currents caused by the wind from the side of the open lake. The processes of energy transfer from the drift current to the near-bottom current and the accompanying transformations of temperature distributions and impurity concentrations, including the effect of bottom erosion by the current, were recorded and traced in detail. The wind-surge circulation that developed under such conditions (southeast wind) ensured an active inflow of cold waters from the open lake into the Petrozavodsk Bay. There was no bottom flow from the bay during this period.

A series of soundings similar in composition of measured parameters and methodology, but shorter, was carried out in the central part of Petrozavodsk Bay during the period of developing waves under different synoptic conditions, determined by the southwest wind. On September 19, work had to be interrupted for several hours due to a storm warning. No matter how much I wanted to continue measuring in excitement, they don’t joke with the elements. However, the data that were obtained in this series of observations made it possible to trace the evolution of current structures throughout the entire depth of the lake as the drift flow intensified with a characteristic Ekman rotation of the current velocity vector as the depth increased. In the 3-5 meter bottom layer, above which intense mixing of waters developed, there was a gravitational density flow from the bay into the open lake, enhanced by energy transfer from the drift current with a geostrophic rotation of the velocity vector. The hydrodynamic stability of this flow was maintained despite the waves. It was ensured by the lower temperature of the bottom waters and the equalization of the distribution of water density in the overlying layers. Moreover, an additional decrease in the temperature of bottom waters in the bay was associated with the synoptic and hydrodynamic conditions, measurements in which were carried out in a previous series of soundings

The results of the final section along the center line of Petrozavodsk Bay in conditions of weak waves generally confirmed the above conclusions of the primary analysis of data obtained on the first section and in two series of soundings using the Doppler current profiler RDCP-600 placed on the bottom (at autonomous buoy stations). As in the first section, work was carried out using multi-parameter probes Sea-Sun, RCM 9 LW, a coductometer and an Expert oximeter and a transparency meter. The emission of turbidity clouds containing suspended matter with contaminants from the bottom stratified flow to the water surface was recorded. This effect, important from the point of view of taking into account the impacts of such currents on the processes of formation of water quality, was also recorded in a series of soundings at emergency stations.

During research on Lake Onega, circulation and bottom stratified currents were discovered. Spatiotemporal transformations of the structures of current velocity fields and water composition parameters are considered. New data have been obtained on the influence of hydrodynamic processes on the transport of impurities in the Petrozavodsk Bay of the lake.

Now comes the most interesting part - analysis of the results of hydrophysical studies, as well as data on the distribution of hydrochemical characteristics of the lake waters, obtained by our colleagues from the Institute of Northern Water Problems of the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Methods for mathematical modeling of the observed processes will be developed. The theoretical work will be enough for the whole year. And in the summer - new expeditions to the seas, lakes and reservoirs with the participation of students, graduate students and employees of the Department of Physics of Sea and Land Waters.

Petrozavodsk Bay is a bay in the northwestern part of Lake Onega in the territory of the Republic of Karelia. The city of Petrozavodsk is located on the northwestern shore of the bay. Before the appearance of a settlement on the shore of the bay, which gave the name to the city, the bay was called Solomenskaya Bay or Solomyalahta (Karelian lahti - bay). The bay stretches from northwest to southeast. It is separated in the eastern part from the Bolshoye Onego Bay by the Ivanovo Islands and is connected in the southeast with the central part of Lake Onega by a strait 2 km wide and 23 m deep. The shores of the lips are high, slightly indented, and flat along the sands. The lip juts into the western shore of Lake Onega between Cape Derevyansky near the village of Derevyannoye and Cape Shuinavolok on the Baranniy Bereg peninsula. The rivers Lososinka, Neglinka, Selga Rechka (Udega), Studenets (Sulazhgorka), Vilda, Bolshoi and Kamenny streams flow into Petrozavodsk Bay. Also, the influx comes from Lake Logmozero, connected to the Gulf of Solomensky Strait. The Guba serves industrial, transport and recreational purposes to the residents of Petrozavodsk; water is abstracted from its waters for the needs of the city. Maximum depths are more than 25 m.

The bay is usually covered with ice in early December and opens in early May. In September-November, storms are frequent, often ending in the destruction of coastal buildings and ships. Storms are known in 1841, 1880, 1903, 1923 1935, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1987, 2008. Storms and storms at other times of the year are more rare, however, there is a known case of a storm on July 21, 1860, as a result of which a boat with 6 by townspeople and caused damage to a public pier.

Neglinny (Kalinina or Neglin) is located in the waters of Petrozavodsk Bay, 0.6 km from the coast, in the alignment of the street. Krasnodontsev. The second name of the island comes from the name of a trading Karelian peasant from the village of Ongamuksy, Spasopreobrazhenskaya volost, Alexei Kalinin, who owned a sawmill located on the island before the October Revolution. Subsequently, on the island there were industrial buildings of the Petrozavodsk concentration camp for correctional labor (1920s), fuel warehouses and forests of the White Sea-Onega Shipping Company. In 1946, the water line Solomennoye - Neglin Island operated. Currently uninhabited. A navigation sign and a Russian flag are installed on the island. There are projects to connect the island and the mainland with a bridge and turn it into a recreational area. Loyostrov is located in the waters of Petrozavodsk Bay, 0.9 km from the coast, south of the urban forest blocks. Previously there was a pier and fuel storage facilities for the BOP. On the southeastern tip of the island there is a navigation sign and a Russian flag. Uninhabited. There were proposals to establish a historical and cultural center on the island. The Ivanovo Islands lie at the exit from Petrozavodsk Bay: Nikolsky. Before the revolution, there was a chapel on the island in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Koivostrov. Mudrostrov.

Anchor place, which is one of the best between the Svirskaya and Petrozavodsk bays, is located 3 kbt W from Cape Lakhtinsky. This anchorage is protected from all winds except strong southeasterly ones. The depths here are 2.9-5.8 m, the ground is silt. Vessels with a draft of 3 m or more are allowed to anchor on the line of the Gabukovsky line of signs opposite the pier.

Instructions for approaching Lakhtinskaya Bay. When heading to Lakhtinskaya Bay, you must first follow the Sheltozersk alignment of signs (alignment direction 84°-264°) to the Gabukovsky alignment of signs (alignment direction 140°-320°). Having identified the signs of the Gabukovsky alignment of signs, you must lie down on this alignment and keep the signs exactly on the alignment or in a small gap to the right of the alignment, so as not to run into a reef protruding from the shore 1 kilometer from the pier. Approaching the entrance to the bay, you can turn left and go around the reef, go to the pier or follow to the anchorage.

Warning. The bottom in the area of ​​the undercarriage of the Gabukovsky sign alignment is very uneven, filled with crevices. There have been cases where towing ropes that had sunk to the bottom became stuck so tightly that they had to be cut off.

Vekhruchinskaya Bay juts into the coast 2 miles NW from Cape Lakhtinsky. The shores of the bay are low, sandy, covered with coniferous forest; There are many underwater and surface rocks scattered around them. The eastern entrance cape of the bay - Cape Churnavolok - is low, rocky, devoid of vegetation. Depths in the bay are 5-9 m; the soil in its middle part is sand and red clay, and near the shore there is stone.

Vekhruchinskaya Bay is protected from winds from SE to NW. Vessels with a draft of up to 2.5 m can anchor in the southern part of the bay near the shore.

When entering the bay you should stay in the middle of it.
