Soviet submarine S-189, Soviet submarine museum at Neva River embankment, Russia
Description
The S-189 is a Soviet-era attack submarine of the Whiskey class moored as a museum along the Neva River embankment. The vessel contains torpedo tubes, navigation systems, and functional compartments that visitors can walk through.
History
Built at the Baltic Shipyard between 1954 and 1955, the boat served for decades in the Soviet fleet based in Kronstadt. After sinking in the port in 1998, retired submariners raised it from the bottom in 2005.
Culture
The vessel carries the name of a Soviet naval base and displays original equipment from that era still visible today. Visitors can directly see how sailors worked and lived in the tight compartments.
Practical
Wear comfortable shoes as entering the vessel requires climbing narrow stairs and crawling through hatch openings. The compartments are tight and low-ceilinged, so watch your head and allow extra time to move through the boat carefully.
Did you know?
The boat was among the first vessels of its class and witnessed the entire Cold War from beginning to end. Its recovery was an unusual project by retired officers who wanted to save the boat from permanent ruin.
