Last night, on 5\u20136 July, two parts of one of the Europe\u2019s biggest cogs arrived from the construction site of Lootsi Street to the future shipyard square of Estonian Maritime Museum at the Seaplane Harbour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another two wreckage parts are planned to be brought to the museum in the second half of this week. In both cases, this can be done only starting from midnight, as each cog part is huge and weighs several tens of tonnes. Necessary preparations lasted a little longer than three months and it took almost six hours to transport one half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This is only the beginning; both the cog and all the findings discovered along with it will be examined and preserved. We will give our best that the upcoming work could be continuously observed and as a result, you can explore the Lootsi cog and all the accompanying findings in all their glory. I would very much like to thank everyone who is helping now, and in the future,\u2019 said Urmas Dresen<\/strong>, the head of Estonian Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
