The Tarmo is an icebreaker that served Finland for many decades.[1][2] The Tarmo was built in 1907. She was armed and served in World War 2. She is currently moored at a nautical museum in Kotka, Finland.

She is reported to be the world's oldest surviving icebreaker.[2][3]

Another Finnish icebreaker, built in 1963, was named after the original Tarmo.[2]
