S-189 is a submarine of Project 613 moored at Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment in St. Petersburg and converted into a museum.
Project 613 submarines (according to NATO classification: “Whiskey”) are Soviet medium-sized diesel-electric submarines built in 1951-1957. This series became the most massive in the Soviet submarine fleet (215 submarines). Photos by: deletant.

The submarine S-189 was built at the Baltic plant and launched on September 4, 1954. The length of the submarine – 76 meters, the depth of immersion – up to 200 meters, the crew – 52 people.
Until 1988, thousands of sailors and officers served here. The submarine was withdrawn from the fleet in 1990 and later, in 1999, sank in Kupecheskaya harbor of Kronstadt.

In 2005, on initiative and with funding from the businessman and former submariner Andrei Artyushin, the submarine was raised and put into dock at Kanonersky Plant, where it was reborn.
