The Strait of Bonifacio ((コルシカ語:Bucchi di Bunifaziu), , (フランス語:Bouches de Bonifacio), Gallurese: ''Bocchi di Bunifaciu'', (イタリア語:Bocche di Bonifacio)) is the strait between Corsica and Sardinia, named after the Corsican town Bonifacio. It is 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. ''Sémillante'' 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. After a tanker disaster in 1993, the passage through the Strait of Bonifacio has been prohibited for French and Italian flag ships with dangerous goods. Passage for ships with dangerous goods sailing under other flags is strongly discouraged and subject to mandatory piloting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Strait of Bonifacio: a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMO Resolution A.666(18) Navigation in the Strait of Bonifacio )〕 Its maximum depth is . ==See also== * Lavezzi Islands * Cavallo (island) *France–Italy Maritime Boundary Agreement 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strait of Bonifacio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
