Estonia, A Wooden Submarine, A Wooden Submarine

 

 

Besides just enjoying this beautiful walled-in and fairytale city, I head over to Lennusadam to view a bit of Estonia’s maritime and military history.

 

 

 

 

At Seaplane Harbor about a twenty minute walk from Old Town I experience some very cool exhibits including a submarine built in1854. It is not a yellow submarine but more interestingly it is a wooden one.

Other neat ships here, Estonia’s first combat vessel, “The Griff” built in 1976 for the former Soviet KGB.

 

Also anchored here, Estonia’s  Flagship, an almost 100 year old icebreaker that is powered by steam.

This is definitely a one of a kind.
