Passed by this memorial by chance while walking back from the harbor to the city center. It’s sad, but beautifully done.
Chance upon this memorial and I started reading up on it . A sad reminder of a tragic event 25 years ago .
A grim reminder of this tragic loss of life in the Baltic Sea. A horrible ferry accident that emphasizes the power of nature and the fragility of life. Great place to pause and reflect in the middle of exploring Tallinn.
This monument stands at northern end of Pikk just beyond Fat Margaret as a memorial to 852 people who died in Estonia ferry disaster that happened in September 1994. This urved black slab thoughtfully designed remind the agony of those families who lost their near and dear.
Broken Line is a ship like shape made from steel erected in one of the main street streets in memory of the 852 people who lost their lives in the Estonia passenger ferry catastrophe in 1994. It is a nice park like atmosphere where citizens can setup for a picnic. I believe the street name is Mere, a main path for public transportation.
The artwork commemorating the 852 lives lost when the ship Estonia sunk in Finnish waters in 1994 doesn't draw attention to itself. Maybe it fits too well to the park surrounding Old town as I hadn't noticed it before. Formed by a broken steel line it was designed by Estonian Villu Jaanison and Finnish Jorma Mukala emphasizing the scale of the accident well.
