The
submarine
St. Petersburg has a lot of museums - including the first private
submarine museum with the last submarine of the type C-189.
The diesel powered submarine of the type C-189 was the most
produced submarine of the former Soviet Union. Once there were
about 250 units of it - this one is the only one remains.
Built in 1955, it served the Soviet navy for 35 years and it
retired in 1990 in Kronstadt. In 1999 it went down - not from old
age, because of non-ferrous metal hunters hat dismantled in the
meantime so far that it could no longer stay afloat.
A private businessman and former submarine driver Andrei Artjuschin
lifted the submarine in 2005. It has been restored in a St.
Petersburg shipyard accurate including the interior, to show how
the occupation has been alive on a submarine like 50 years
ago.
The crew were about 52 men and the 76 m long submarine was able to
swim 45 days autonomously and dive in depth up to 200 m.
The Cache
The cache canister is a small magnetic NANO, so bring your own
pen.
The cache is not at the submarine, so you don't have to pay
entrance fee - you have a good view on the submarine from the cache
location.
