Aino, now 85, is recounting her experience surviving the sinking of the motor ship “Ruhnu” in 1968. The incident occurred on October 4, 1968, when the ship sank off the eastern coast of Saaremaa, approximately three kilometers from the shore. Aino was 30 years old at the time and awaiting the arrival of her first child.

The voyage, intended to be a short cargo trip from Tallinn to Kingisseppa, resulted in the entire crew surviving the shipwreck. Details regarding the causes of the sinking were previously reported in the Saarte Hääle publication in February 2019. This is Aino’s story of how she survived the event.
