The Fog Bell(Tumanny Kolokol) in Chersonesus
In 1913 the bells turned out to be in Notre Damme Cathedral in Paris. On 6 December the same year the "prisoner" returned to Sevastopol.
It was installed on the bell tower of Chersonesse Monastery. After the monastery was closed in 1925 and the bells dismantled, this copper giant was installed on the shore for running during nasty weather and warning of danger the ships floating by the shore. Now it is a symbol of Chersonessus.
