Angara, Historic icebreaker ship in Irkutsk, Russia
The Angara icebreaker measures 61 meters in length, 10.7 meters in width, and 7.6 meters in height, featuring robust engineering for winter navigation.
Built in Newcastle and assembled in 1900 near Lake Baikal, this vessel cleared ice paths for the Baikal ferry during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The vessel now functions as a museum ship, presenting exhibitions about Russian maritime traditions and the development of ice navigation in Siberia.
Visitors can access the ship museum throughout the year, with guided tours available that showcase the vessel's engine room and navigation equipment.
During the Russian Civil War, the Angara transformed from a civilian icebreaker into a military vessel, conducting operations against Czechoslovak forces on Lake Baikal.
