The Bassargin lighthouse is an important navigational landmark for approaching from the sea and sailing through the Eastern Bosphorus Strait to the Golden Horn Bay and to Vladivostok, the largest Pacific port of Russia.

The lighthouse was established in 1937. In 1987, his fiftieth anniversary was celebrated. His first tower was wooden, of a very primitive design. The fire was acetylene. Therefore, it was not considered a lighthouse, but a luminous navigation sign.

For the safety of navigation, when ships enter the Eastern Bosphorus Strait and when leaving it, it is necessary to stay close to the Bassargin Peninsula. Cape Bassargin - the southeastern tip of the Bassargin Peninsula - is steep, rocky and bordered by underwater and surface rocks. The presence of significant depths near the cape makes it very dangerous for navigation. The tip of the cape is a high rectangular rock. The rock is connected to the shore by a low rocky isthmus. For the navigational fence of this rock, a luminous sign was originally installed on it.

In 1958, instead of a wooden sign, a stone prismatic octagonal tower with a height of 8 m from the base and a fire height of 28 m from sea level was built. The tower is painted with white and red horizontal stripes. Right there, on the shore, near the rocky isthmus, a technical building was built, in which a sound alarm system was installed - a nautofon. Its emitters are placed closer to the danger on the rock and installed directly on the tower. The range of the Bassargin lighthouse is 10 miles. The fire is green.

For more than half a century, the Bassargin lighthouse has reliably ensured the safety of navigation in a very important area of ​​very intense ship traffic on the approach to Vladivostok, Russia’s largest port in the Far East.
