THE OLD PIER During the War of Liberation (1877-1878), under the leadership of Colonel Baykov, the capabilities of the Black Sea ports were explored, which were used to transfer large parts of the Russian army. There were two piers described in Anchialo (Pomorie), but only one of them was sufficient for military purposes. This pier was made of wood, with a depth of 25 sadzhena (2.34 m), a width of 5 paces, and a height above the water of 10 feet. Due to its favorable location—partially sheltered from northeast and east winds—the pier in Pomorle was chosen instead of the one in Burgas. Meanwhile, there were about 40-50 ships in the city, all of which were used to transfer Russian armies to steamships. This enabled the transport of thousands of soldiers from Anchialo to Odessa. Unfortunately, on January 20, 1915, as a result of a severe storm, the city pier collapsed. This posed obstacles to the export of local products, which consisted primarily of salt and wine. The municipal council decided to allocate 5,000 lv from its budget to build a new pier. They even developed a project, but due to the crisis and lack of funds in the years following World War I, the pier was completely destroyed. Finally, in 1924, during the vote on the 1924/1925 annual budget, the municipality decided to allocate a loan of 50,000 lv for the construction of a new harbor. 30 g Between 1961 and 1975, during the term of mayor Tsanko Stefanov, the seafront boulevard was built. As part of the coastal promenade, the old pier was also repaired. The wooden deck was replaced with reinforced concrete. The following decades saw the old pier exposed to the devastating effects of salt and moisture. For a long time, the pier was closed to visitors due to the danger of collapse. In 2015, during Mayor Ivan Aleksiev's first term (2011-2015), the old pier was renovated with funds allocated under the operational program for the development of the fishing sector. Since then, the pier has had a new vision and is ready to welcome residents and guests of the city, offering them a place for a stroll or relaxation.
