S-56, World War II submarine museum in Vladivostok, Russia.
The S-56 is a World War II submarine that now serves as a floating museum along the waterfront in Vladivostok. The gray steel vessel sits moored at the dock with a tall tower in the middle and narrow decks fore and aft.
The vessel was built in 1936 in the Soviet Union and served throughout the war against Germany in different theaters. After the war it remained in service for many more years before becoming a museum in 1975.
The crew quarters show life underwater with bunks, tables and instruments filling every available space. Visitors can see how more than 50 men worked and slept inside this steel tube for weeks at a time.
The museum sits on Korabelnaya embankment within view of the harbor and the city. Entry is through a gangway onto the deck, from where visitors climb down into the chambers below.
During the crossing through the Panama Canal the crew had to work in tropical heat, which was unusual for an arctic vessel. This long journey made the boat one of the few Soviet ships to cross both oceans.
