Why Go

The hangars were built for the Russian navy in 1916–1917, under some of the first large concrete shell domes in the world. Inside, the submarine Lembit, built in Britain in 1936, hangs among ships, seaplanes and mines.

Outside, historic ships are moored at the quay, among them the icebreaker Suur Tõll.
