Kihnu Jõnn alias Enn Uuetoa memorial

<strong>Kihnu Jõnn</strong>, otherwise known as <strong>Enn Uuetoa (1848-1913)</strong>, was an Estonian sea captain. He rose to this rank thanks to many years of sea voyages in which he had not a single accident. He would captain large ships without the use of either a compass or a sextant, <strong>taking vessels out in which other captains did not dare go to sea</strong>. <br>Kihnu Jõnn went down with his ship the Rock City off the coast of Denmark one stormy autumn day in 1913. <br><br><strong>The two-metre bronze memorial</strong> <strong>that has been erected to him</strong> guards the land-side sea gates of Pärnu by the city's yacht harbour.
