Location – Murmansk city, descent between Chelyuskintsev Street and Geroev Severomortsev Avenue

The memorial complex "To the sailors who died in peacetime" is called a lighthouse by locals. One of the most beautiful places in the city, with a wonderful view of the Kola Bay. It is located on the slope between Chelyuskintsev Street and Geroev-Severomortsev Avenue.

From here you can see the city bathed in sunlight on a polar day or the multi-colored cranes in the commercial port; ships in the Kola Bay; Lenin Avenue sparkling with the lights of cars and the hills inside which the city itself is located. A beautiful marble staircase, framed by trees, leads from the site to the memorial on both sides. And the slope where the memorial is located is decorated in summer with paintings made of colored chips.

The memorial itself was opened on October 5, 2002, for City Day. At half past five in the evening Moscow time, all Murmansk ships, both those that were at anchor in the Kola Bay and those that were crossing the world's oceans, marked the opening of the memorial with a long blast of the horn.

The architectural dominant of the memorial complex is a hexagonal lighthouse tower 17.5 meters high. The Church of the Savior on the Waters is located on the upper platform. Next to the lighthouse is a ship's anchor with a capsule of sea water placed under it. A memorial hall-museum is open on the first floor of the lighthouse. On five walls of the museum are memorial plaques in memory of sailors of different fleets who died at sea in peacetime. The museum contains books of memory of the sailors who died.

On June 15, 2009, the conning tower of the nuclear submarine Kursk was installed next to the lighthouse, which became a monument to submariners who died in peacetime. The names of 33 submarines on which sailors died in peacetime are written next to the conning tower. A trace of a palm is carved on the wall, touching it as if you are shaking the hand of a person who will forever remain at sea.
