Estonian Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Tallinn, Estonia
The Estonian Maritime Museum spans two locations: the Fat Margaret artillery tower and the Seaplane Harbour, displaying ships, submarines, and nautical instruments.
Founded in 1935 by former naval officers, the museum relocated to the Fat Margaret tower in 1981 and expanded to the Seaplane Harbour in 2012.
The museum presents Estonia's maritime traditions through ship models, fishing equipment, and navigation tools that reflect the nation's connection with the Baltic Sea.
The museum operates with extended summer hours from May through September, while winter schedule runs from October through April with shorter visiting times.
The collection includes the 1937 submarine Lembit, constructed in England, and the Maasilinn ship remains, which represent the oldest vessel discovered in Estonian waters.
