German Marinefährprahm naval ferry barge, damaged and abandoned in shallow water near Sukho Island on Lake Ladoga during World War II.

On the night of October 22, 1942, the Soviet military garrison of Sukho Island, supported by aviation and ships of the Ladoga military flotilla of the Red Army, repulsed an attack by a Wehrmacht landing force on 30 ships (including Marinefährprahm naval ferry barge), which was trying to capture the island and the lighthouse.
