Maritime sights in Irkutsk

1. Angara Steamship

   • Irkutsk, Russia
   • Sights › Maritime

   Moored near the Angara Dam, the Angara Steamship is an ice-breaker ferry originally imported in kit form from England to carry Trans-Siberian Railway passengers across Lake Baikal (the trains went on her bigger sister ship Baikal, which sank years ago). Officially closed to visitors, the ship is currently used as drinks storage for a nearby summer café, but the impressive engines still work, as you might see, should the café owner decide to befriend you.
