Seaplane hangars were initially constructed as part of the naval fortress of Peter the Great in 1916-1917. The hangars are the world's first reinforced concrete shell structure. |

Submarine Lembit was hauled out of the water to become the centre piece of the new maritime museum. She is the world's only surviving mine-laying submarine of its series dating back to 1930's. Climb into the submarine and learn more about the life of mariners! |

One of the most enthralling exhibits at the Seaplane Harbour is the full-size replica of the British seaplane Short 184. The seaplane conducted the first successful aerial torpedo attack in history |
