The Russalka Memorial
This striking monument on Kadriorg’s shore is a memorial to those lost when armoured ship Russalka sank in 1893.
A storm hit the ship as it was headed from Tallinn to Helsinki, taking the lives of all 177 crewmen. The Russalka sculpture by A. Adamson was completed in 1902 and is considered one of the classics of Estonian art.

Nothing special
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5A monument ot disappeared seamen. Classical. Not worth a detour but on the way to the north along the sea and difficult to miss.
Okay
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5Just wondered past, good place to remember the lives lost, not necessarily a place that needs it's own visit. Has some nice benches nearby that look out to the port and the strait of Finland
A tribute
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5Monument built in tribute to those who were lost at sea. We stumbled across it as we were taking a stroll along the promenade. Very impressive although possibly not worth a specific trip to it.
