Baltic Canal Gate Construction
The White Sea, Baltic Canal was constructed between 1930 and 1933, largely by penal labour. From Povenets, at the northern end of Lake Onega, the canal runs northward to Lake Vygozero (using seven locks), from which the canalized Vyg River (with 12 additional locks) leads to the White Sea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental construction of the Baltic Canal Gate, a remarkable feat accomplished between 1930 and 1933. The canal, stretching from Povenets at Lake Onega's northern tip to Lake Vygozero, was primarily built by penal labor during a time of great adversity. The image showcases the sheer magnitude of this engineering marvel as it cuts through the picturesque landscape. The viewer is drawn into the scene by the intricate network of locks that facilitate navigation along its course. Seven locks connect Lake Vygozero to Lake Onega, while an additional twelve locks on the canalized Vyg River guide ships towards their final destination - the White Sea. The photographer skillfully captures both the grandeur and historical significance of this project in stunning detail. The contrast between man-made structures and untouched nature creates a visually striking composition that evokes contemplation about human ingenuity and perseverance. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand how determination overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges during an era marked by hardship. It serves as a powerful reminder of our ability to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness even amidst adversity. With its rich historical context and artistic merit, "Baltic Canal Gate Construction" is not just a photograph but also a testament to human resilience etched onto paper for all to admire.
