Seaplane Harbour in Tallinn is a 1917 concrete seaplane hangar the size of a football pitch, now one of Europe's best maritime museums. The building itself is the first large-span reinforced-concrete shell structure in the world: three enormous domes built for the tsarist navy's seaplanes, left roofless and burnt out for decades, and reopened in 2012 with the concrete deliberately raw. Look up before you look at the boats. The centrepiece is Lembit, a 600-tonne British-built submarine from 1936 that served under Estonian, Soviet and finally museum flags; you walk right through its cramped interior, past the torpedo tubes and the tiny galley. Around it hang a Short 184 seaplane replica, minesweepers, a Nazi mini-sub and dozens of small boats, while the Suur Toll steam icebreaker is moored outside. The single hall is organised by element — what flew above the water, what floated on it, what went beneath it — so there is no route to follow and no wrong way round. Children steer virtual ferries and fire deck guns; there is a cafe with a harbour view and a tempting shop.
