Starting 7 December 2022, a newly completed virtual tour can be taken to visit the legendary icebreaker Suur T\u00f5ll<\/em>. The Estonian Maritime Museum offers the opportunity (which is equivalent to a regular visit) in Estonian and free of charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018On this day 100 years ago, the icebreaker Suur T\u00f5ll<\/em> returned from Helsinki to Tallinn to its original home port. Opened as a museum ship in recent decades, the maritime symbol of Estonia is the largest preserved steam-powered icebreaker in the world. From today, visitors can visit the legendary icebreaker both at the Seaplane Harbour and in a virtual tour,\u2019 said Urmas Dresen<\/strong>, Head of the Estonian Maritime Museum.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual tour allows visitors to explore the icebreaker Suur T\u00f5ll<\/em>, which has been opened as a museum ship at the Seaplane Harbour<\/a>, as if they were actually visiting it. All you need is a smart device or computer with an internet connection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018With this new opportunity, everyone can explore the unique icebreaker. Anyone interested can participate in the free virtual tour in Estonian at a place and time that suits them. We hope to see Estonians with special needs and those people who do not live in the capital, as well as teachers and students, using this opportunity. In the coming months, we plan to offer the virtual tour in English as well, thus offering the opportunity to explore the icebreaker virtually to the rest of the world,\u2019 explained Mihkel Karu<\/strong>, curator of permanent exhibitions at the Estonian Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new opportunity to visit the icebreaker Suur T\u00f5ll<\/em> is possible thanks to the virtual exhibition platform developed by the Tallinn Art Hall. The virtual tour can be accessed via the LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
