“Russalka” (1902), located on Kadriorg’s beach, is a monument to the armoured ship Russalka, which headed out from Tallinn to Helsinki in 1893. A storm prevented it from ever reaching its destination, and it took all 177 crewmen to the bottom of the sea. The Russalka sculpture, by A. Adamson, is one of the classics of Estonian art.
