''The Estonian archipelago was guarded by the mighty 30,5 cm batteries at Zerel, used to fight off the German attack during Operation Albion. First in service in 1910, they were the most powerful heavy guns of the Russian Navy and were often used on battleships, such as the pre-dreadnought Slava that guarded the straits.
