The Maritime Monument
0
It is called Sjøfartsmonumentet, or the Maritime Monument, and the sculpture is composed of elements related to the sea: three hulls, scattered parts from sails and rigging, and some similar components. The monument itself is made of stainless steel and stands nine meters high. The Maritime Monument was gifted to the city of Stavanger in honor of shipowner Sigval Bergesen's 100th birthday and the 75th anniversary of his shipping company. Locally, the monument is affectionately called "Regå," which means shrimp.
