The wrecks of the Maasilinn ship and the Kadriorg cog exhibited in our museum have attracted visitors from all across Estonia and elsewhere for years. The larger and better preserved wreck of the Lootsi cog unlocks a new story about seafaring, but also about living conditions seven centuries ago. To highlight this, we are building a ship hangar in the Seaplane Harbour area, where we will preserve and exhibit the Lootsi cog. We will do our best to continuously monitor the progress of the upcoming works,\u2019 said Urmas Dresen, Head of the Estonian Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the largest medieval ship wrecks in Europe, which came to light during the construction of an office building on Lootsi Street, arrived at the Estonian Maritime Museum in Seaplane Harbour in two parts. On the night of 4\u20135 July, the bow part and the first middle part of the cog were transported, followed by the stern part and the second middle part of the wreck on the night of 7\u20138 July.
