Aurora, Protected cruiser in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The naval vessel stretches 126.7 meters along the Neva River, featuring multiple decks that showcase early 20th-century maritime engineering and naval architecture.
The Aurora's blank cannon shot on October 25, 1917, marked the beginning of the storming of the Winter Palace during the Russian Revolution.
The museum ship exhibits collections of naval artifacts, military equipment, and historical documents that demonstrate the development of Russian maritime traditions.
Visitors can access all three decks of the museum ship, which contains detailed information panels in Russian and English about naval warfare and navigation.
The ship's original mechanical components, including steam engines and boilers, remain preserved in their initial configuration from the 1900 construction.
