Everything about The Strait Of Bonifacio totally explained
The
Strait of Bonifacio (
Bonifaccio is an older spelling from circa
1861) is the
strait between
Corsica and
Sardinia, named after the Corsican town
Bonifacio. It is about 7 miles (11 km) wide and divides the
Tyrrhenian Sea from the western
Mediterranean Sea. The strait is notorious among
sailors for its
weather,
currents,
shoals, and other obstacles. The most famous disaster in the Strait of Bonifacio was that of the
French frigate Sémillante on
February 15,
1855. The ship had left the port of
Toulon the day before on its way into the
Black Sea to supply the
Crimean War with troops. A storm caused it to hit a reef; the ship sank and none of the 750 soldiers on board survived. Since a
tanker disaster in
1993, the passage through the Strait of Bonifacio has been prohibited for only French and Italian flag ships with
dangerous goods.
