Russalka Memorial, Bronze memorial monument in Kadriorg, Estonia.
The Russalka Memorial features a bronze angel holding an Orthodox cross atop a 16-meter granite pillar near Tallinn Bay.
The monument marks the loss of 177 crew members when the Russian warship Russalka sank in the Gulf of Finland in 1893.
Estonian sculptor Amandus Adamson created this monument in 1902, making it the first major public work by a native artist in Estonia.
The memorial stands at the end of a promenade from Kadriorg Palace, with granite pavement forming a compass pattern around its base.
The bronze angel figure was modeled after the sculptor's housekeeper, combining personal connection with national maritime remembrance.
