Kopli liinid

Kopli liinid in Tallinn is the workers' quarter built from 1912 for the Bekker shipyard, a company town so complete that laborers could be born, fed and buried without leaving its grounds. The guide walks the cobbled rows where manual workers slept in modest wooden barracks, then up the ridge to the grander houses where engineers and directors lived off the same bakery but better plates. Look for the mismatched houses along the lines, no two quite alike.
