Coastal Defense Battery No. 12
On the north-west tip of the Paljassaare peninsula in Tallinn are the remains of Coastal Battery No. 12, finished in August 1915 as part of the sea front of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress, the ring of guns that was meant to keep enemy fleets out of the Gulf of Finland and away from St Petersburg. It was armed with four 130-mm Vickers guns. After 1919 the battery buildings were used as mine stores and the gun emplacements were mothballed.

Tallinnas Paljassaare poolsaare loodeosas on rannakaitsepatarei nr 12 jäänused. See valmis 1915. aasta augustis Peeter Suure merekindluse mererinde osana – suurtükkide ahelana, mis pidi hoidma vaenlase laevastiku Soome lahest ja Peterburist eemal. Patarei relvastuses oli neli 130 mm Vickersi kahurit. Pärast 1919. aastat kasutati patareihooneid miinide ladudena ning kahurialused konserveeriti.
