......................................................................................11 Introduction I chose the Tallinn's Seaplane Harbour because of its secluded nature combined with great value. I want know to why it was forgotten for such a long time, what makes it unique and what are the future plans concerning this architectural wonder. History Early History At the end of 1913, research work commenced on constructing an airfield which was to be built as part of the Peter the Great's sea fortress (nowadays Patarei). For this purpose, 6,000 square fathoms of land was appropriated a couple of hundred meters in the direction of Paljassaare. The construction of Noblessner's shipyard had already begun on the adjacent plot and pursuant to the basic principles and plans of Tallinn's fortifications as approved by Nikolai II in 1911; the plan foresaw the construction of two identical and adjacent hangar complexes. At the beginning of
Tallinn is a small port town in which the population is 371 000 people, and the area is only 159,2 km².( square kilometers). Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is named after taani linnus, which means Danish castle. The Castle in question was built by King Waldemar of Denmark in the 13th century. The settlement quickly developed itself into a busy port. -The Old Town In medieval age Tallinn was called Reval and it was as big as the Tallinns Old Town is now. Uniqueness of Tallinn is that it is one of very few European cities, where the historical lay-out is kept in it's original form , and has a lot of monuments of that time. Thanks to that in 1997 Old Tallinn has been included in the list of a world heritage of UNESCO.
making it the most populous municipality in the European Union, with a population more than double that of its nearest rival. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area had a population of 8 278 251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of just under 14 million, the largest metropolitan area in the EU. The public transport network, administered by Transport for London, is one of the most extensive in the world, Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the world by international passenger traffic and the air space is the busiest of any city in the world. Parks and gardens The largest parks in the central area of London are the Royal Parks of Hyde Park and its neighbour Kensington Gardens at the western edge of central London and Regent's Park on the northern edge. This park contains London Zoo, the world's oldest scientific zoo, and is located near the tourist attraction of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
kilometres long, encompassing 26 of the original towers. Three towers and a section of the town wall surrounding the Old Town are open to the public and can be visited by anyone with a sense of adventure. Tallinn Old Town is changing fast with widespread renovations, but it has kept its charm. Many of the 26 towers that still stand now house cafes and museums. It is written in the chronicles that Kiek in de Kök was once the most powerful tower along the Baltic shores. The round cannon tower, built in the 15th century, has a diameter of 17 meters. Its height is 38 meters and its walls are 4 meters thick. The tower was just high enough that its guards had a view into the kitchens of neighbouring buildings. The tower s name, "peek in the kitchen", comes from its height. The tower was partially destroyed during the Livonian War (1558-1583), but the building itself did not fall. The tower has been rebuilt several times, but up until the 20th century, it was still being
Collectivization of agriculture and nationalization of industry began in the late 1940s. In 1991, during the attempted hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, Estonia declared its independence from the USSR. In June 1992, Estonia replaced the ruble with its own freely convertible currency, the kroon (EEK). Constitutional law of Estonian Government was admitted on 28th of June by national referendum and it came into force on 3rd of July. Lennart Meri was elected president and Mart Laar, a radical free-market advocate, became prime minister. The last Russian forces were withdrawn from Estonia in August 1994. Estonia joined NATO on 29th March 2004 and the European Union on 1st May 2004. 6 Economy In the years that Estonia was part of the Soviet Union, it provided the USSR(The Union of
Legend has it that one day, when the Danes were about to lose a bloody battle, the sky suddenly opened and a red flag with a white cross on it dropped down upon them from the heavens. This is allegedly how the Danes obtained their national flag, the Dannebrog in a battle against the Estonians. In the middle of the 14th century Denmark sold its possessions in Estonia to the German Teutonic Order. Toompea became the seat of the German-born gentry. A wall was built to separate the Upper Town and the Lower Town. In 1285 Tallinn joined the Hanseatic league and became a junction of trade between East and West. Tallinn is said to be built on salt, as it was an important trading commodity. In the 16th century Tallinn had a population of about 7,000 8,000 making it one of the biggest cities in northern Europe. In 1629 Sweden took control of the whole of Estonia. Though hard times
Despite the lack of maintenance of the area Kalarand is already one of the best places to spend time by the sea, by emphasizing its values it can be made even more pleasant. Over the years a sense of community has been created. People of Kalamaja have organised summer beach parties and sauna parties there, with temporary sauna tents. In 2011, when Tallinn was a European Capital of Culture, the authors of Urban Intervention built changing cabins, benches and terraces to Kalarand. The beach area was cleared, the scrub trimmed and dustbins were provided for the summer season. The seabed of the bathing site was cleared of rubbish and pieces of concrete, water samples were taken and analysis results were posted on a notice board. (Lift11, 2011) All of this was made by initiative of locals. While the site was cleaner and more in order, Kalarand still remained as a non-public bathing beach and it was

several radio stations, of which the most famous is called Voice of America. This radio station was also one of the only means for people in Estonia to get information of the world beyond Soviet block. After Estonia gained it's independence once again on 20 August 1991, the English speaking countries were among the first to recognise Estonia as an independent country. For instance the United States reopened its Embassy in Tallinn on 4 September 1991. Estonia joined the United Nations and started the preparation to join other international organisations as the European Union and NATO. For this purpose much technical assistance from the US has arrived. For instance in recent years, the United States has supported the development of Estonia's Defense Forces with approximately 8 million dollars annually. This assistance led to the joining of Estonia with NATO on 29 March 2004. The English speaking countries are the leading force in the war against international terrorism
Denmark. Only in1629 the whole mainland Estonia became subject to Sweden. Under Swedish rule the University of Tartu was founded in 1632 and also the oldest school working on the same premises was founded in Tallinn (GAG).After the Northern War (1700-1721) Estonia became a province of Russia. During that period the gentry of Baltic-German origin prevailed in Estonia. They kept estates in Estonia until 1919. Under Russian rule the Palace of Kadriorg was built and the park was laid out. The National Awakening in the middle of the 19th century brought rapid advances in the Estonian education system, general living conditions and culture. The national epic "Kalevipoeg" was published, theatre and music societies appeared and the 1st Song Festival was held in Tartu in 1869. Since then the Song Festivals have become a national tradition, being held every 4-5 years. This all lead to Estonia's independence on 24 February 1918
Estonia has no age-old puppetry tradition, like some other countries. Regular puppet shows were first a feature of the children's program of the Estonian Drama Theatre in the 1930s. A separate puppet theatre was founded in 1952; for decades it worked under the leadership of Ferdinand Veike. At first it had no house of its own, constantly travelling around the country. In 1955 part of an historic building in the old-town quarter of Tallinn became its home. The theatre started to broaden its means, often mixing puppets and live performers. From 2000 the artistic director is Andres Dvinjaninov and the managing director is Meelis Pai. The theatre building was extensively renovated; at present it has a 177-seat main stage, a 100-seat oval hall, an 80-seat green hall, and an open-air stage in the back yard. 8 Conclusion
The people here are mostly engaged in industry- mainly the food industry (23%), trade (16%) and transport and communication (14%). History. Tallinn has a great history. It was first marked on a map of the world by the Arab geographer al-Idrisi in 1154, its name then being Kolyvan. In the 13 th- century chronicle of Henricus de Lettis the town was called Lyndanise. Then it was called Reval for some time and finally Estonians started to call the town Tallinn from Taanilinn (Danish town) after the Danish conquest in the 13th century. The Knights of the Sword took Tallinn from the Danes in 1227 and made Toompea their fortress. In the middle of the 14th century Denmark sold its possessions in Estonia to the German Teutonic Order; Toompea became the seat of German-born gentry. A fortified wall was built between the Toompea (the Upper Town) and the
Every five years national song and folk dance festivals take place in Tallinn. The yachting regatta of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games was held at Pirita. History Tallinn means in English "Danish town". The place is believed to have been settled by Finno-Ugric people about 2500 BC. It was first marked on a map of the world by the Arab geographer al-Idrisi in 1154. The Estonians were the first to build a stronghold on the spot of the Toompea Hill, but the real Tallinn was built by the Danes who conquered the north of Estonia in 1219. Legend has it that one day, when the Danes were about to lose a bloody battle, the sky suddenly opened and a red flag with a white cross on it dropped down upon them from the heaven. This is how the Danes obtained their national flag. In 1346 the Danish king sold his Estonian lands to the Teutonic Order, who a year later resold them to the Livonian Order. The Germans renamed Tallinn and called it Reval.
In 1219 Henricus de Lettis wrote about the Lyndanise stronghold of the Rävala people. On 13 June that year King Waldemar II of Denmark came to conquer north Estonia. The Estonians lost the battle and the Danse renamed the town Reval, as it was the centre of the ancient Estonian province of Rävala. The Estonian, however, rejected the name and began to call the city Taani linn, the Estonian for Danish castle. Tallinn’s economy started to boom in the 19 th century with the emergence of machine-building, woodworking and textile industries. A railroad was built in 1870, linking the city to St. Petersburg. From that time Estonia maintained close ties with Russia. From 1918 to 1940 Tallinn was the capital of the Republic of Estonia. It was then that Tallinn became the official name of the town. Toomas Hendrik Ilves (born 26 December 1953) is the fourth President of Estonia, in office since 2006.

died. The fall of a dear is called Reh-fall in German, so that's where the name Reval probably derives from. How the Toompea hill came into being Kalev, the father of the hero Kalevipoeg, was killed by his greatest enemy. His widow, Linda, mourned for seven days and eventually dug his grave and started to gather up large boulders to make him tumulus mound. So the tomb of the great King Kalev is what we call Toompea hill today. How the Lake Ülemiste was formed It is believed that once Linda was carrying boulders to make his husband a tomb, she got tired and one of the boulders fell from her apron. She sat on it and wept, thus creating the lake. How was St. Olaf's Church built
In the first quarter 2008 GDP grew only 0,1%. The government made a supplementary negative budget, which was passed by Riigikogu. The revenue of the budget was decreased for 2008 by EEK 6.1 billion and the expenditure by EEK 3.2 billion. 1 Estonia joined the World Trade Organization in 1999. A sizable current account deficits remains, but started to shrink in the last months of 2008 and is expected to do so in the near future. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the average monthly gross wage in Estonia was 13,117 kroons (838, US$1,066.5). Estonia is nearly energy independent supplying over 90% of its electricity needs with locally mined oil shale. Alternative energy sources such as wood, peat, and biomass make up approximately 9% of primary energy production. Estonia imports needed petroleum products from Western Europe and Russia
But there wasn't such of master who would be able to do this church. One stranger man offer himself to do this, but he demanded a high reward. But he added condition: if citizens find out his name, he doesn't take any moeny for this job. The stranger man began to build a church. So the walls rised. Several people tried to get friends with stranger builder, but he didn't pay attention to them.

Be careful! The cross is awry.''
The principal part thereof is constituted by the export of petroleum products from Russia -- first by rail, then by sea with tankers. Other Russian goods that have been transported through Estonia are grain and fertilizers, sometimes other goods as well. The transit from the West to Russia has gradually grown, mostly in the form of containerised freight. The Estonian national air company Estonian Air has also proven successful as it has managed to increase both cargo volumes and the number of passengers in spite of the hard times in the world's aviation business. In 2004 the number of passengers in Estonia grew almost 35%, considerably enhanced by new routes, including those opened by the cheap airlines . About 3.4 million tourists visit Estonia every year, the majority of them come Finland and stay for a short period -- morning (night) trip from Helsinki to Tallinn, evening (night) trip from Tallinn to Helsinki. Here they visit shops and service outlets. Tourists who come for a

Tallinn English College Topic Estonia Tallinn 2008 1. Introduction Estonia is a small country about the size of Switzerland, or New Hampshire and Massachussetts combined. Estonia is named after the people called "Ests" who lived in the region in the 1 st century AD. The Republic of Estonia is one of the three countries commonly known as the "Baltic States". The other Baltic States are Latvia and Lithuania. 2. Geographical position Estonia is situated in northeastern Europe. Estonia is bounded on the north by the Gulf of Finland, on the east by Russia, on the south by Latvia and on the west by the Baltic Sea. In the north it borders on Finland. The coastline of the Baltic Sea in Estonia is characterized by numerous gulfs and bays, the biggest of them being the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Riga and the Gulf of Pärnu. Bays include the Narva Bay, Matsalu Bay, Kolga Bay, Kunda Bay, Tallinn Bay etc. Estonia has over 1500 islands, the largest being
north western coast in 1688 and 1689. In 1770 the British sailor Captain James Cook landed on the east coast at Botany bay, and said Australia now belonged to Britain. Of course nobody asked the Aborigines about this - it was the beginning of a terrible time for them. Narrowly escaping shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef, Cook sailed home to England. He reported a land with abundant fresh water and lush vegetation and very suitable settlers. Britain soon started to send convicts to the new country. In May 1787 eleven ships left England for Australia carrying about 1,500 people, half of whom were convicts and the other half their guards. They reached Port Jackson - now Sydney - in January 1787. Life was very difficult and the convicts had to work very hard making roads, buildings and farms. In 1851 gold was found in New South Wales and Victoria. There was a great gold rush. Thousands of people came to Australia to find their fortunes
The Presentations Triinu: "The Notorious Prisoners of the Tower" Built in 1078, has been used as a fortress, Royal Palace, a prison, the home for Crown Jewels. The first prisoner was Ranulf Flambard in 1100. The only woman tortured in the Tower was Anne Askew. Guy Fawkes was prisoned 5 th November 1605, hung in 1607. Walter Raleigh was knighted, married without queen´s permission. Last prisoners were in the Tower in 1952. Rita: "Alexander Fleming" Was a pharmacologist, has graduated 6 schools, studied anti-bacterial agents, found
years ago by crossing a land bridge formed between Siberia and Alaska during the last ice age. It is believed that the ancestors of Canadian Inuit were inland hunters who adapted their lifestyle to new conditions. Some of them lived near the coast and began to hunt seals and walruses. Their main diet consisted of marine mammals and fish. Others never went to sea but hunted game in nearby areas. The traditional dwelling where the Inuit lived used to be an igloo, which is a domeshaped house built out of blocks of ice. The Inuit traveled in a sledge pulled by dogs and their main weapon was the harpoon. For many centuries, the Canadian Inuit lived in nearly total isolation. Only at the beginning of the 19th century were they more permanent trading relations with whale hunters and fur merchants. Nowadays, the majority of the Inuit live in some 28 remote communities scattered
On the 13th century Germans and Danish tried to conquer our country. On the 16th century the first book in Estonian language was publicated. Then the Livonian War began.

In 1920 the Peace treaty with Russia was signed in Tartu
Most of Australian native animals move around at night. But the birds which are very colourful are easy to see. There are about 750 species of birds in Australia. Two types of crocodiles, the saltwater and the freshwater crocodile can be found in the north. The dingo or the native dog is not really an Australian native. It was brought from Asia around 3500 years ago. The dingo is an efficient sheep hunter. To protect sheep The Dog fence was built in 1946. Population About 20, 2 million people live in Australia. Mainly they live on in the eastern and southeastern part of the country, because the middle part of the country is mainly plains and deserts. The eastern part is the place where the big cities are like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane etc. In Sydney and Melbourne together live about 8 million people. The Native Australians The first people who arrived to Australia were the Aborigines. They arrived there about 50 000 years ago
The translators tried to eliminate the vast difference between the `country language' and `church language'. The Bible translation became the basic text that regulated the written Estonian language for more than a century. Despite its enormous impact on the development of the Estonian language, individualistic Pietism found a direct response primarily among the German-speaking clergy and nobility. The Estonian peasantry appears to have welcomed the movement of the Moravian Brethren which had started in Herrnhut in Saxony. In contrast to the Pietism, emphasizing penitence in the spirit of the Old Testament, the christocratic theological approach of the Moravians made them an optimistic and popular movement. This began to spread widely among Estonian 5|Page peasants in the 1730s, when the founder of the movement, Count Nikolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf, visited Estonia.
