Minesweeper T-387, torpedoed off the Pakri islands
Miinitraaler T-387, mis torpedeeriti Pakri saarte juures
In the autumn of 1944 the Germans had left mainland Estonia, but their U-boats were still hunting in the Gulf of Finland. On 28 November 1944 the small Soviet minesweeper T-387, built to the MT-1 design, was off the Pakri islands near Paldiski when the U-481 torpedoed her. She sank quickly and thirteen of her crew were killed. The wreck lies north-east of the islands and is now a protected monument.

1944. aasta sügiseks olid sakslased Mandri-Eestist lahkunud, kuid nende allveelaevad jahtisid Soome lahel endiselt. 28. novembril 1944 oli väike Nõukogude miinitraaler T-387 Paldiski lähedal Pakri saarte juures, kui U-481 selle torpedeeris. Laev uppus kiiresti ja hukkus kolmteist meeskonnaliiget. Vrakk lebab saartest kirdes ja on nüüd kultuurimälestis.
