The nameless wreck on Littegrund shoal

In Tallinn Bay, by the Littegrund shoal, lies the wreck of an 18th-century sailing ship. Nobody knows where she came from or what she was called. Divers of the underwater archaeology club Viikar found her in 1983. The wreck is registered as a cultural monument in Estonian territorial waters. When and how she was lost is unknown. The pin uses the coordinates given for the wreck in Wikipedia. The year is only an estimate, because only the century in which the ship was built is known.

Eesti keeles

Tallinna lahes Littegrundi madala juures lebab 18. sajandil ehitatud purjelaeva vrakk. Keegi ei tea, kust laev pärit oli, kuhu see sõitis ega kuidas seda kutsuti. Vraki leidsid alles 1983. aastal allveearheoloogiaklubi Viikar sukeldujad. Vrakk on arvele võetud Eesti territoriaalmeres asuva kultuurimälestisena. Millal ja kuidas laev hukkus, pole teada. Littegrundi madal jääb Naissaare ja Viimsi poolsaare vahele. Märgi asukoht vastab Vikipeedias toodud koordinaatidele. Aastaarv on vaid hinnanguline, sest teada on ainult see, millisel sajandil laev ehitati.
