The MS Estonia was damaged by high waves and sank while traveling from Estonia’s capital to Stockholm early on Sept. 28, 1994. Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid marked Saturday’s anniversary by laying a wreath at a memorial in Tallinn for the victims. Along with the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, the MS Estonia wreck is among the worst peacetime disasters involving a European ship.
