Online webcam broadcasts the Barnaul river port-located on the bank of the Ob River, near the mouth of the Barnaul River in the Central district of the city. Barnaul River Station is the main and only water gate of the capital of the Altai Territory.
The city of Barnaul is located in Western Siberia and is the administrative center of the Altai Territory. It was born in 1730 as a settlement at the factory near the rivers Barnaul and Ob. The Akinfiy Demidov plant was engaged in silver melting. Today, Barnaul, which occupies the 21st place in terms of population in Russia, is a large developed center of Siberia.
History of the Barnaul River Station
In the XIX century, many of the rivers of Russia were still unexplored, the movement on them was negligible. Single vessels and small boats rarely sailed along the Ob River in the Barnaul region. Basically, rafts were moored to the shore and the forest was adjusted, which was floated along the river. Everything was changed by the appearance of steamboats in Russia in the middle of the XIX century. For the first time, the Tomsk merchant Khaminov reached Barnaul by water on his ship "Ermak". This happened in 1854. And in 1889, the city had its own steamship, owned by Funk and Shcherbakov. It was the largest steamship in the Ob-Irtysh basin at that time.
In 1897, the first Ob map appeared, with brows, fairways, and signs drawn on it. Now the river becomes safe for navigation. And since 1890, ship repair bases have already been operating in the Bobrovsky Zaton. Agricultural products are transported by river transport from Barnaul, and passenger traffic is significantly increasing.
Barnaul, Tomsk and Tyumen companies place berths for steamboats on the coast of the Ob River. On the river, there is an intense movement of all kinds of vessels, which caused the formation of the United Steamship Company. Work is being carried out to clear and deepen the river bottom in the area of the pier.
In 1915, the river traffic on the Ob River again decreased due to the opening of the Altai Railway.
Only in the 1950s there was another rise in traffic, due to the construction of motor ships, coastal and floating cranes.
In the port of Barnaul there is a base where ships wait out the winter and prepare for the new navigation season. Freight and passenger traffic are growing, and by 1980 they were 4.7 million tons and 1.5 million people, respectively. Initially, the architectural structure of the river port was made of wood, like many buildings in the city. It was a wooden landing stage on a reinforced concrete base with ticket offices, a buffet and a waiting room for 150 people. And in 1985, a new, modern building of the Barnaul River Station was born. Shipping is going through its golden days. This is due to the low cost of river transport.
The 1990s and Perestroika also left their mark on the Barnaul river station, leading it to a significant decline and desolation. Abandoned vessels become unsuitable for further operation, traffic on the river stops, and transportation of people and cargo is practically non-existent.
