American Merchant Mariners' Memorial

American Merchant Mariners' Memorial is a moving memorial honoring merchant mariners who died during World War II.

Designed by Marisol Escobar, the sculpture depicts four men on a sinking ship, inspired by a real event from 1943. The most fascinating element of the monument is its interaction with the tides - at high tide only the hand of the sinking sailor is visible, while at low tide the entire upper part of his body is exposed.

This place makes you reflect on the sacrifice of often forgotten war heroes.
