Bamse-Statue

The full-sized bronze statue depicts Bamse, a St. Bernard dog, wearing his characteristic naval cap and standing in a vigilant position at the waterfront.

The statue commemorates a Norwegian Navy dog who served during World War II, protecting crews and rescuing sailors while stationed on the minesweeper Thorodd.

Local schoolchildren participate in annual ceremonies at the statue, maintaining the connection between Honningsvåg and Montrose through this shared maritime heritage.

Located near the harbor, the statue stands as a central point for guided tours exploring the naval history of Honningsvåg during World War II.

The statue faces its twin monument in Montrose, Scotland, across the North Sea, marking the locations where Bamse served during his military career.
