Estonian TV-crew sailed through the Northwest Passage to honor the country’s polar heroes

Maris Pruuli, in the middle, worked as a boatswain during the voyage. Here she is with her husband, Tiit, who was the expedition leader, and her son, Jaan, who was a deck-hand.

In September, the Admiral Bellinghausen became the first Estonian ship to pass through the legendary sea passage and (approximately) the 160th yacht to complete the voyage.
