Customs Day. Story
The trade tax, as a rule, was levied by members of the princely squad, who were otherwise called "tax collectors".

For example, the “dry” wash was intended for crossing by land, and “water”, therefore, for transportation by water.In 1868, the so-called Sea Cruising was created. Its main purpose was to strengthen the maritime border throughout the Baltic Sea. Later, in 1872, the so-called customs flotilla was founded on the same territory.
