Trangsund Strait

View from Cape Hotchkiss on the northern tip of Ravansari. As you can see it is possible to shell the strait with dagger fire in the forehead of enemy ships just from here. It was here, according to M. Borodkin, in 1710 a trench with guns was built for protection Russian troops ander Vyborg from the Swedish fleet. In the spring of 1855, the Tronzund battery with 4 guns was erected here - one of the first at the Trongzund position. On July 1, 1855, the battery was not yet armed, so the English detachment passed the strait further to Ovchinny Island freely.
