Helsinki - Uspenski Cathedral and Relandersgrund

This red lightship named the Relandersgrund is nowadays a floating restaurant, moored in the downtown area of Helsinki at the Halkolaituri Vedkajen Marina . It has a steel hull built in 1888 and decommissioned in 1937. It is reported that a drunken Russian crew ran it aground and sank it in 1917 while celebrating the Revolution. It was subsequently raised and repaired in Tallinn, Estonia the following year.
