The Shipwrecked, Bronze sculpture in Tähtitorninvuori, Finland
The Shipwrecked depicts a family group with a father holding a child while signaling for help, and a mother lying on a raft.
The sculptor Robert Stigell completed this 4.5-meter bronze monument in Paris during 1898, following his initial plaster design from the early 1890s.
This sculpture marks a shift in Finnish public art as the first outdoor monument in Helsinki not dedicated to a specific person or event.
The monument stands on a granite pedestal reaching 6 meters in total height and remains accessible through wheelchair-friendly paths in Tähtitorninvuori park.
During its unveiling in November 1898, speaker Leo Mechelin connected the sculpture to Finland's political situation under Russian control at that time.
