Shipwreck or sea mystery · 28.10.1916
The destroyer Kazanets, torpedoed off Osmussaar
On 28 October 1916 the Russian destroyer Kazanets was escorting the transport ship Habarovsk from Hari Strait towards Tallinn, together with the destroyer Ukraina. At 11:45 am, near Osmussaar, the German submarine UC-27 torpedoed her amidships on the starboard side. Kazanets broke in two and sank. Of her 79 crew, 45 died and 34 survived. The wreck was first discovered in 1993 south-east of Osmussaar, at a depth of 44 to 46 metres, broken in half and partly buried in mud. The pin is set off the island's south-eastern shore as an approximate marker, not the exact wreck position.
