Memorial To A Sunken Ship

This is a memorial to the Russian warship Russalka (meaning: Mermaid), which was lost without trace, in the stormy sea on 7 September 1893, en route from Tallin to Helsinki. All 177 of her crew were lost. The Russalka Memorial shows an angel pointing the orthodox cross towards the likely direction of the shipwreck. (Wikipedia)
