Cannon from the frigate Tiger

Cannon on Primorsky Boulevard, Odessa Cannon
Ukraine, Odesa
The cannon from the frigate "Tiger" is a historical monument located at the southern end of Primorsky Boulevard - Dumskaya Square. It was opened in 1904 and is dedicated to an event during the Crimean War: the sinking of the frigate "Tiger" by Russian troops, the pride of the British fleet. One of the frigate's cannons was erected as a monument. In 2004, the monument was restored and a symbolic shot was fired from a cannon.

The cannon stands at the beginning of Primorsky Boulevard and draws almost no attention to itself. During the New Year holidays, a "garden of light sculptures" is arranged on the site around the cannon. In historical terms, the cannon is valuable because it was taken from the English frigate "Tiger", which ran aground during the bombardment of Odessa (1854) during the Crimean War. It is interesting that the ship that had run aground was destroyed by its own Anglo-French squadron, which arrived in the morning to the rescue.
