SEAPLANE HARBOUR & MARITIME MUSEUM in TALLINN ESTONIA (Lennusadam) 🇪🇪

I arrived early in the afternoon to find a very wet and rainy Tallinn & decided my original plans of walking around the Kalamaja neighbourhood would be troublesome because of the weather. I elected instead to find somewhere dry and interesting - and the Maritime Museum sounded like a great option. I bought a ticket and headed inside.

Estonia’s maritime museum opened in 2012 and is located inside a large concrete seaplane hangar. It’s impressive to see domes built into the large concrete roof and no supporting pillars whatsoever. It took me 15-20 minutes to walk there from Tallinn old town and is nicely positioned on the seafront.

The museum itself is home to the Lembit - a submarine built by the United Kingdom in 1936, and the rugged Suur Tõll - an icebreaker built by the Russian Empire in 1914 and captured by Finland shortly afterwards. There’s over 200 historical items on display both inside the seaplane hangar and outside in the harbour. A ticket allows you to freely walk around both.

I know very little about the sea so it was adsorbing to walk around and witness some of Estonia’s maritime history for myself. The hangers are colossal and from the inside it's hard to see how something so big and heavy can support its own weight - but it does, and it has been for over 100 years.

After strolling back to the old town and my room at the Meriton Old Town Garden Hotel I’ll show you what £40 a night will get you in central Tallinn.
