The Maritime Memorial

The Maritime Memorial features a bronze sculpture of Memory, represented by a winged female figure standing on a rhombus-shaped platform with narrative reliefs.

The monument, inaugurated in 1928, commemorates Danish civilian sailors who lost their lives during the First World War, with 648 names inscribed on its base.

Annual ceremonies at the monument bring together maritime communities, government officials, and families to honor the sacrifices of Danish merchant marine personnel.

Visitors can find the monument near Langelinie Marina, where the surrounding waterfront area provides walking paths and connections to other Copenhagen attractions.

The limestone reliefs depict maritime scenes, including a ship hitting a naval mine and symbolic representations of Mars and Mercury illustrating warfare and commerce.
