Odessa, Ukraine - An American's First Visit began before I had ever gone to
Odessa, Ukraine. I knew that the adventure of my life was about to begin and I
wanted to document it as it happened. I started this website before my first trip
and here you can see the result of those efforts.
Since I first went to Odessa, Ukraine to meet my fiancee until today, this site
continues to document what began with the words below.
Original Intent of The Odessa Ukraine Website:
From this page you are going to see a continually changing site as I begin to learn
about Odessa, Ukraine. Not only will I provide links,but also personal experience
and photos. I have never been to Odessa but will be going soon. I will tell you
what I learn as I prepare and show you the photos when I return.
Let the journey begin...

Odesa or Odessa (Ukraine), is a major city located in south central Ukraine, Located on the Black Sea, the city is the center of trade and fishing of the
country. In the winter, its harbor kept open. It also known as a major manufacturing, railroad, and cultural center and, with its mild climate, a popular
resort. Products of the city include refined petroleum, processed food, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and clothing. Institutions of higher learning include a
university, polytechnic and medical schools, a marine academy, and a music conservatory. The city has several museums and theaters and an opera
house.
It began as a colony from ancient Greece who may have once occupied the site of the city, and Crimean Tatars traded there in the 14th century. Odesa
itself was founded in 1794 as a Russian naval fortress on territory annexed from the Ottoman Empire in 1792. By the early 19th century the Russian
settlement had become an important grain-exporting port. During the Crimean War (1853-56), Odesa was bombarded by joint French and British naval
forces. In 1905 the city was the site of a workers' uprising, supported by the crew of the Russian battleship Potëmkin. Odesa suffered heavy damage
during World War II, when it was occupied from 1941 to 1944 by German and Romanian forces; many civilians were killed by the occupying armies.
