A large, historic icebreaker, identified as the Suur Tõll (formerly Märhula), is moored in a calm body of water at the Seaplane Harbour (Lennusadam) in Tallinn, Estonia. The image is captured from a low, slightly angled perspective, focusing on the vessel's bow and forward superstructure under a clear, bright blue sky. The ship's hull is dark grey or black, constructed with visible riveted steel plating. Two large anchors are housed on either side of the bow; the starboard anchor clearly displays the name "MÄRHULA" and "2250 KG" in white lettering. Below the dark hull, a section painted in red anti-fouling paint extends to the waterline. White Roman numeral draft marks are prominently displayed on the port bow, reading "XXIV," "XXIII," "XXII," "XXI," and "XX" from top to bottom. Red and blue mooring ropes are secured to the port bow. Above the hull, the ship features a multi-level superstructure with wooden decking and railings. A tall, white mainmast with extensive rigging rises behind the bow. Further aft, a distinctive black and white funnel (smokestack) is visible, along with a small enclosed bridge structure featuring windows at the stern. Multiple round portholes and oblong hawsepipes are visible on the hull and superstructure. The scene is illuminated by the warm, golden light of either late afternoon or early morning, casting long shadows and creating a strong reflection of the ship's red hull and the golden light on the remarkably calm water surface. The reflection accurately mirrors the riveted texture and color variations of the ship's lower sections. No people are visible in the image.
