Lonely Planet review for Cruiser Aurora

Built in 1900, the Cruiser Aurora saw action in the Russo-Japanese War and is now a museum that will appeal to naval enthusiasts and kids. It was from this ship that the shot marking the start of the October Revolution was fired. So hallowed was the cruiser that during WWII the Russians sank it to protect it from German bombs.
