In 1856, the Treaty of Paris required Russia to remove its fleet and naval installations from the Black Sea. That same year, the tsarist government approved the charter for the Black Sea Steamship Company. This civilian enterprise would sail throughout the Black and Mediterranean seas. The thicker the yellow line, the greater the number of scheduled voyages along a given route. The wider the transparent underlayer, the greater the government subsidy (measured in rubles per mile). As you can see, each route represents a different mixture of (imperial) ambition and (consumer) demand. By Imperiia Project.
