Tallinn streetsign displaying the name Klaasi.

View of the slipway near Klaasi, Tallinn, built in the 1910s as Russia was waking up and rearming after the disastrous destruction of the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. The slipway is probably the only one of its slze still in existence.

View of shipworks in Bekkeri Sadam, sorta near Klaasi, Tallinn, photographed through the perimeter fencing.

Street with the following approximate lineage: #Luha (?-1922), Soo (1922-1940), #Kaisla (1940-1941), Soo (1941-1991), and finally #Alliksoo. And so (pun intended), given its repeated naming as #Soo, bog or marsh, basically: somewhere wet. One of a #hydrology-themed sector, see #Häilu.
3/3

Popped into #Kaisla for a rare (and sneaky) pint. The infection rates are rising again so it'll be some months again before the next one. But I found some books to read while the world burns.
