Shipwreck or sea mystery · 11.11.1916
G90, one of seven German torpedo boats lost in one night
G90, üks seitsmest ühe ööga hukkunud Saksa torpeedopaadist
On the night of 10 to 11 November 1916 a German torpedo-boat flotilla made a raid into the Russian-held Gulf of Finland. The raid ended in disaster: one boat after another ran into Russian minefields, and seven were lost, among them S57, S58, S59, V72, V75, V76 and G90. The G90 struck a mine and sank in the gulf off north-west Estonia with the loss of eleven men. Her wreck lies north of Hiiumaa's Tahkuna peninsula and has been protected since 2018.

Ööl vastu 11. novembrit 1916 tegi Saksa torpeedopaatide flotill retke venelaste valduses olevale Soome lahele. Retk lõppes katastroofiga: üks laev teise järel sattus Vene miiniväljadele ja hukkus seitse, nende seas S57, S58, S59, V72, V75, V76 ja G90. G90 sõitis Loode-Eesti lähedal miinile ja uppus, hukkus üksteist meest. Vrakk lebab Hiiumaa Tahkuna poolsaarest põhja pool ja on alates 2018. aastast kaitse all.
