Coastal Defense battery No. 13

Coastal Defense battery No. 13

In a bend of Muuli road in Haabneeme are the ruins of Coastal Battery No. 13, completed in 1915 for Peter the Great's Naval Fortress, which guarded the approaches to Tallinn and St Petersburg. It held four 120-mm Vickers guns; parts of the gun emplacements and shelters survive. Partly blown up in 1918, it was repaired and in 1922 taken into the Estonian navy's coastal defences as Battery No. 7 of the Aegna command. The structures were finally destroyed in 1941.

Eesti keeles

Haabneemes Muuli tee kurvis on rannakaitsepatarei nr 13 varemed. Patarei valmis 1915. aastal Peeter Suure merekindluse jaoks, mis valvas Tallinna ja Peterburi lähenemisteid. Sellel oli neli 120 mm Vickersi kahurit; osa kahurialuseid ja varjendeid on säilinud. 1918. aastal osaliselt õhitud patarei taastati ja võeti 1922. aastal Eesti merekindluste Aegna komandantuuri koosseisu rannapatareina nr 7. Kaitseehitised purustati lõplikult 1941. aastal.
