Submarine M-103 north of Vormsi
Allveelaev M-103 Vormsist põhja pool
On 25 August 1941, as German troops closed in on Tallinn, the small Soviet submarine M-103 was at sea off the west Estonian coast. About eight nautical miles north of Vormsi she ran into a field of mines laid by the German minelayer Brummer and sank with all 21 men on board. The wreck lies in open water north of the island and is protected as a cultural monument.

25. augustil 1941, kui Saksa väed Tallinnale lähenesid, oli väike Nõukogude allveelaev M-103 merel Lääne-Eesti ranniku lähedal. Umbes kaheksa meremiili Vormsist põhja pool sattus see Saksa miiniveeskaja Brummer paigaldatud miiniväljale ja uppus koos kõigi 21 pardal olnud mehega. Vrakk lebab avamerel saarest põhja pool ja on kultuurimälestisena kaitse all.
