Why is there anchor on the stamp?
The city of Mykolaiv has been one of Ukraine’s major shipbuilding and naval centers since its founding in 1789. For more than two centuries, it has built military vessels, cargo ships, and yachts. The anchor appears in Mykolaiv’s coat of arms, representing its maritime industry and port status. Located where the Southern Bug River meets the Black Sea, Mykolaiv’s economy and history have revolved around shipping and naval activity. The anchor is a common motif symbolizing safety, stability, and connection to the sea
