The Seaplane Harbour, including Seaplane Hangar, was built to become part of Peter the Great’s naval fortress 100 years ago on orders from the Russian emperor Nicholas II. The architecture of the Hangar is remarkable, featuring the world’s first columnless thin-shell concrete domes of such volume. The building was used for seaplanes until the Second World War.

Although outside of the old town, only a relatively short walk that is well worth it. A huge redevelopment of the old harbour has led to the creation of this vast museum full of interesting exhibits. The gem must be the submarine which you can walk around providing you can get through the limited space.
Fabulous

Great to see and hear history on Old town and its evolution . Our guide was fab and very knowledgeable fantastic english and answered every question and showed us little places we had missed on our own walk around. Keyed everything together and explained the significance of each The seaplane harbour was great and to be able to explore the ice breaker and submarine was fab . As a side note next door to seaplane harbour is an old prison that is currently closed until May 2020 but looks well worth a visit our guide recommended it and the walk past piqued my interest. Well worth it great value and interesting

Great introduction to Tallinn and Estonia. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history. Estonia has a brutal past, and has had numerous invaders, gaining its independence from the Soviets in 1991. Its amazing the old town has survived - its very beautiful. After our walk in the old town, we then went down to the Sea Plane museum past the old prison - which sounds chilling. The Sea Plane museum is fantastic. Beautiful building and great food for a late lunch. We finished our tour feeling that we had a better understanding of the history of Estonia, and maybe, just maybe an insight into the culture, as well as the courage, fortitude and stoic nature of the Estonians.
