We enjoyed our visit to the Maritime Museum which is said to be the most exciting maritime museum in all of Europe. The historical seaplane hangars display about 200 genuine items: a real submarine called Lembit, a century-old icebreaker called Suur Tõll, a Short 184 seaplane, and the remains of the oldest ship found in Estonia, etc. We learned a bit of Estonian history during our tour. We stepped inside the submarine to see what life would be like living in cramped quarters. The submarine can hold 32 men which is hard to imagine. We also visited a few of the ships that are housed in Tallinn’s harbor.
