Today I went to work in the industrial area of St. Petersburg.
Pictured is the Sea Canal. According to it, ships from the Baltic Sea get to St. Petersburg.

There is a cargo port on its shore.

Behind it are various plants and factories. For example, at this alcohol plant in 1927, the chemist Lebedev produced artificial rubber for the first time in the world.

Before the revolution, the bridges to the factories across the canal were movable. Then everything was rebuilt. But here is one post of a mechanic, who was supposed to raise the bridge when the ship approached, is still preserved.

The house of the buoy management has also been preserved.

From here they controlled the lights of the buoys that marked the fairway.

And this is what the factory church looks like now.

In 1925 it was rebuilt. There was a leisure center for working youth.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the sites of your historic city. I really appreciate seeing them. Your knives and dog are great also. Thanks again.
 
Looks like the kind of Ben Franklin-era stuff I run into!

The switchgear, not the knife.

Vertical contacts, huh? Can I derail the thread briefly (shocking, I know), and ask for more pictures of this legacy panel?
It’s the switch panel for my real real old freight elevator. I had the panel open to reset a stuck door. Ill run over to the plant and pull the cover and get you a pic.

Amazing photographs and an interesting glimpse of the history of the city. My wife visited Moscow about 8 years ago, but never made it to St. Petersburg. Are you a native or transplant?

Not sure if I understood the question correctly.
I was born in a Cossack estate on the Don River. He finished school there. Then he moved to Rostov-on-Don. Graduated from the Don State Technical University. In Rostov he met his wife. She is from Petersburg. I came here and we got married. This was in 2005. Since then I have been living in St. Petersburg.

Yes, that answers it. I had to look up the Don River, St. Petersburg looks beautiful. It is a little cold for me, I live in Florida! I enjoy your posts.

Relay logic at its finest 🤓
Spent years working on elevator fire recall systems as a fire alarm tech. The fun days of shooting the shit with the elevator boys lol.
Those elevator techs make some damn good money, but it's a very niche trade, one that's unionized.
