This iron lightship was built in 1888, it is 27.1m (89ft) in length, with a cylindrical light tower amidships. The ship served 26 years on the Relandersgrund station. In 1917, its Russian crew, celebrating the start of the Revolution, sailed the ship across the Gulf of Finland and drunkenly ran it aground, sinking it on the Estonian coast. The Finnish government had it raised and repaired in Tallinn, Estonia. On returning to Finland, it served as a reserve lightship until it was decommissioned in 1937. Little is known after this, but it remained at sea until it was sold for scrap in 1978. Rescued from the wreckers, it reappeared with its old name in Kotka, where it was renovated as a restaurant. In 2005 it was towed to Helsinki, where it continued to function as a restaurant. The ship was dry docked for maintenance and restoration in 2007 and returned to the Helsinki waterfront in 2009. Located on the Meritullintori waterfront in downtown Helsinki. |
