The
Tarmo is an
icebreaker that served Finland for many decades. The Tarmo
was built in 1907. She was armed and
served in World War II. She is currently moored at a nautical museum in Kotka, Finland. She is often reported to be the
world's oldest surviving icebreaker, although Russian Angara icebreaker predates Tarmo by at least 7 years and also survives to this day as a floating museum. Another Finnish icebreaker, built in 1963, was named after the original Tarmo. This card was sent to me by
