Another detail from a British map. Here we
see the entire Russian defense line. We have photos from bastion 1 (at the
point above the Carenage ravine and main harbor - Bastion 2 (little Redan)
Malakov (Kornilov tower) - Bastion 3 (Redan) and Flagstaff Bastion. But the
defense line from Flagstaff to Quarantine is covered with city buildings now.
The "Genoese Fort" that the British thought medieval is actually the
largely covered over ruin of ancient Chersonese - the Greek (and Byzantine)
colony. We have extensive photography and description of
Chernonese.
