Sea Canal, Water channel in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Sea Canal stretches through Saint Petersburg connecting the Neva River delta to the Gulf of Finland with granite-lined embankments along its course.

The construction of this waterway in the 19th century enabled large commercial vessels to reach Saint Petersburg's port directly from the Baltic Sea.

Multiple bridges span across the Sea Canal, forming essential connections between different districts while showcasing Russian engineering and architectural traditions.

The canal maintains a depth of 12 meters and supports maritime traffic throughout the year, allowing cargo ships and vessels to access the city's main port.

The waterway forms part of Saint Petersburg's intricate system of 93 rivers and canals, which total over 300 kilometers in combined length.
