Monument to the battleship Mermaid

Russalka Memorial, Russalka memorial, Russalka monument
Estonia, Tallinn
The monument to the battleship "Mermaid" in Kadriorg Park is a monument in the form of a bronze angel standing on a granite pedestal with the inscription: "Russians do not forget their martyr heroes." Created by sculptor Amandus Adamson. Dedicated to 177 sailors of the Russian Imperial Fleet who died on the battleship Rusalka on September 7, 1893.

The total height of the monument is about 16 meters. A stone staircase leads to the platform of the pedestal, opposite which a bronze bas-relief depicting an armadillo in a stormy sea is installed on a rock. From the side of the sea, the names of 12 officers who died on the Rusalka are carved on a rock. The area around the monument is surrounded by stone pillars connected by chains. Metal plates with the names of 165 dead lower ranks of the Rusalka crew are fixed on the posts.

Do not include this monument in your travel plan as a separate object. You will somehow go to him, walking around Kadriorg. Despite its sad history (the monument is dedicated to the dead sailors, their names are written on the pillars of the fence of the monument), "Mermaid" is a favorite place for photo shoots of Tallinn newlyweds. From the "Mermaid" you can go to the shore of the Baltic Sea and admire the cruise ferries departing from the Port of Tallinn.
