North Atlantis Bashny.Net

Here recently I read about a figure who took an amphora from the bottom of Russian Atlantis. I returned from a cruise on the North Atlantis. This is my report.
Actually North Atlantis is an area flooded during the construction of the Rybinsk Reservoir. In September 1935, it adopted a decision to start construction of the Rybinsk and Uglich hydro. On the plains, the rivers! Create hydroelectric dams require - hence the flooding of vast territories.
According to the original project anticipated flood of 2500 sq. km (for comparison - is the area of ​​a small country like Luxembourg), and the height of the "mirror of water above sea level," the future of the Rybinsk reservoir was supposed to be 98 m. Mologa by the flooding did not get - the main part of the city was located at elevations of 98-101 m above sea level .
Young engineers and enthusiasts, these values ​​are not satisfied: it is known that the larger the area of ​​the reservoir, the greater the pressure, the greater the capacity of the HPP. Calculations inspired.
In 1937-1938, it was proposed and approved the decision to raise the "normal water level" of the reservoir from 98 to 102 meters, which increased the area of ​​land flooded by almost half. The Soviet people are ready to create the world's largest man-made sea, dammed two great rivers - the Volga and Sheksna. The power of the future of Rybinsk power plant increased from 200 megawatts to 330.
These 4 meters and 130 megawatts worth Mologa life.
That's actually in that region and is our way.

After the events of "Bulgaria" in our first day was held boat trouble, in my uneducated opinion - life jacket new, there is a whistle, flashlight, but putting on there is a problem: his head stuck in a collar, but with the belts all constantly confused and correctly wear it was only possible with the help of other people, with 3 belt threaded through the back and between the legs 4, the captain explained that it is better not to fasten, when you jump into the water - will have a strong impact and can be a painful shock
5. Sam Vest



Continue - passengers are saved in these vests on special rafts, which are shaped like tents, but the team will be in the boats, they need to collect all the rafts to assemble, associate and towed to shore. (I bring no amendment is a boat and motorboats, rowing in them do not, there are emergency rations, first aid kit, a flashlight and a lot of things ...
Himself Motorboat



And to end with the rescue - at great 4 deck ships (but before the events in "Bulgaria" saved the first upper deck, there usually carry foreigners for them staged a show, and the lower deck were in vests stand in the hallway and wait them will come not from the team.)
You probably. read vest that keeps many out of the corridor. And then a huge ship and run so far in fact, stand and wait ...

The first stop on the Rybinsk Reservoir -Vesegonsk. A small town in which the enterprise is a major winery (already in 1914). This factory organized a wine tasting - a total of 8 pieces, and then it was possible to buy them at factory price (if you see the photographs berth Vesyegonsk people with cardboard boxes, you know - it is people with the winery) For personal feelings - mostly sweet, excluding Port 777 (three axes in the so called students. ponastalgirovat.)
10. The ruins of the church in the valley of the city, which came under flooding



Continue straight - mooring Breytovo, also part of the village was flooded during the construction of the reservoir.
The historic place - in 1238 there was a battle on the river Sit with the Tatar-Mongols. He summed up the bad intelligence, waiting for the enemy of Tver, and he came from the other side. The battle was horrible, the whole river length of more than 100 kilometers of dead bodies was filled, the water was red during excavations almost all the bones found in the river (such place is still called plotischami).

Wave beat the side of the pitching and intensified, but the court persistently went about their business

Visited Rybinsk Museum Mologa region - the main part of my journey. The tiny museum of the 4 rooms in which collected interesting exhibits about the flooded city. It turns out that in October Rybinsk Reservoir drained and 4 meters of water go over the homology, see the ruins of stone houses, churches, you can go through the streets of the North Atlantis. Before the war, when prepared for flooding resettled residents, who did not want to go, how to tell the museum, not even forcibly taken out and destroyed the stove - where winter without it, and people moved. Needless reservoir filled 6 years until 1947, during the war, needed the water for hydropower plants.
and another point in the area before flooding are meadows and a large number of cows. The brother of the famous painter Vereshchagin - engaged in the manufacture of cheese, and then I saw the exhibition foreign oil, decided to make its oil, but the first attempt was lumpy - Oil smell mud, while Nikolai Vereshchagin suggested to produce oil from the cream, heated to a high temperature, which gave him " nutty "flavor. A new kind of oil Vereshchagin called "Paris" and elsewhere in the world it was called "St. Petersburg", as it was exported from Russia only because of this city. Great to taste the milk and butter in Vologda province was obtained thanks to the abundance of water meadows, is maintained throughout the period of grazing green grass with lots of herbs, moderate temperatures in the summer without the heat, and heat.
Now the brand Vologda butter may produce only a few dairies Vologda region

When you exit from Rybinsk saw a boat in the American Adventure



At night, the famous bell tower took place in Kalyazin



Enter the Moscow Canal
I should add that in November 1941. when the Germans approached Moscow, the waters of the channel was flooded a large area and tanks were stuck, making it possible to contain the offensive. By the way, the plan was that in case of abandonment of Moscow - to blow up the dam Khimki reservoir (water level in her 162 meters, while the level in the center of Moscow, 120 meters, so that Moscow would like Mologa).



Match the Northern river station, a journey unfortunately ended



In conclusion, a few sunsets from the boat
