Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour

In Tallinn, Estonia, a maritime museum called The Seaplane Harbour debuted in the spring of 2012. The Estonian Maritime Museum includes the museum. The museum is housed in a structure that was originally built as a hangar for seaplanes in the vicinity of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress in Tallinn. The space in the hall is 8000 m2. The building was rendered useless during the Soviet era.

The submarine Lembit, which Estonia ordered from the United Kingdom in 1936 and has since been restored to its former look from the 1930s, is the center of attention in the museum. Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour museum also contains a full-scale reproduction of a Short Type 184 aircraft from World War I and a yellow submarine that may be used to practice submarine driving. The original seaplanes are no longer in existence. The 16th-century wooden ship Maasilinn, which had traveled between Saaremaa and the Estonian peninsula, is now a wreck. Under the name Wäinämöinen, the icebreaker Suur Tll set sail for Finland in the beginning. According to the Treaty of Tartu, it was taken from the Russians close to Helsinki in 1918 and given to Estonia in 1922. There is also a unique display that details the events leading up to the 1994 sinking of the ferry MS Estonia.

Lennusadam Seaplane Harbour museum's attractions are spread across three zones: above the sea, below the sea, and in the air. The museum uses a contemporary visual language to convey Estonia's naval heritage. The museum features a pool where visitors may sail model ships and observe aquatic life, as well as submarine and aircraft simulators.
