The journey of the fabled Northern Sea Route was successfully transited by a 99-year-old tall ship, Sedov. The ship was originally built in Germany in 1921 and was acquired by the Soviet Union in 1945 as war repatriation.
The Sedov departed from Vladivostok in mid-August, it then completed the east-west passage bypassing the easternmost point of Europe, the southern tip of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, this week. The vessel is expected to arrive in Murmansk, Russia sometime next week.
