The paper represents the results of velocity modeling (ray-tracing modeling) performed for three deep seismic sounding (DSS) profiles 14, 15 and 16 acquired in the eastern part of the Black Sea more than 40 years ago. These profiles represent a system of radial profiles diverging from one common shot point in the East Black Sea Basin (EBSB) and crossing the Shatsky Ridge. The performed modeling showed that thin (~10 km) crystalline EBSB crust, with velocities increasing from 6,5 km/s in the base
