Yenikalsky Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Kerch, Russia and Ukraine
The Yenikalsky Lighthouse stands on Cape Fonar with a circular stone tower directing vessels through the Kerch Strait between the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
The lighthouse commenced operations in 1820, serving as a critical navigation point through multiple territorial changes and maritime developments in the Black Sea region.
The structure represents a combination of Soviet maritime engineering and traditional lighthouse architecture, reflecting the region's naval heritage through its design elements.
Modern vessels rely on the lighthouse's flashing white light pattern every 12 seconds, which remains operational under both Russian and Ukrainian maritime systems.
The lighthouse holds two different international registration numbers: Admiralty number E5422 and ARLHS identifier UKR009, marking its dual territorial status.
