Miinisadam
Miinisadam is a Estonian navy port in North-Tallinn.

Name
when the harbor was first built the harbor basin was known in Russian as Минная гавань which translates literally as mine port translating back into Estonian as Miinisadam.

History
after the Battle of Tsushima where most of the Russian Baltic fleet was annihilated it was decided that the cheapest and most cost effective way of defending Saint Petersburg was a seemingly impenetrable line of coastal artillery. this was first proposed in 1907 and the first plans for artillery at Miinisadam were proposed in 1908. work began on the 18th of december 1911

In science fiction

 * Group mind (science fiction) - a speculative fiction plot device that includes hive minds.

= Use outside of science fiction =

Speculative human hive mind
Articles on several websites have discussed the possibility of a human hive mind made possible by evolution and/or technology. This could vary from of humans potentially evolving into a superorganism like a beehive, to a form more similar to science fiction such as technology allowing humans to instantly share thoughts.

As a metaphor for human society
Human society in agregate is sometimes compared to a hive mind. While it is generally used colloquially (such as for crowdsourcing information from social media sites), the sociological term collective conciousness is sometimes used interchangably with "group mind".

= Woodbridge =

Etymology
Historians disagree over the etymology of Woodbridge. The Dictionary of British Placenames suggests that it is a combination of the Old English wudu (wood) and brycg (bridge). However in the Suton Hoo Societies' magazine Saxon points out that is no suitable site for a bridge at Woodbridge, or any fordable sites until Wilford, the site of the current bridge, several miles up stream. It also raises that an Anglo-Saxon bridge being wooden would have been unlikely to be worthy of comment. It suggests that it might instead have been a combination of odde (a cognate of the old scandiavian oddi meaning promonatory or cape) and breg (from the Anglo-Saxon brego meaning king - note the closeness of Sutton Hoo) or more likely bryg (a cognate of the Norwegian brygge or quay).

The Suffolk Travler suggests a similar origin to The Dictionary but originating from a bridge over a hollow way that leads from Woodbridge Market Place to the Ipswitch. But this is desputed by Rev. Thomas Carthew, then perpetual curate of Woodrbidge who points out that the bridge had existed for less than a hundred years at that point and therefore was not old enough to be the source of the name. He instead suggests Oden or Woden (Odin) and Burgh, Bury, or Brigg (town). The Topographical Dictionary of England suggests a combination of Woden and Bryge.
