Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial, Bronze and granite memorial in Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, United States.
The Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial features a Spanish galleon under full sail mounted on a rectangular granite base measuring ten feet in height.
The memorial, inaugurated on October 17, 1897, was constructed at a cost of 1,500 dollars under the artistic direction of Bruce Porter.
This monument represents the connection between the celebrated author and California, where he spent time seeking improvements for his health conditions.
The memorial stands in the central area of Portsmouth Square, a location frequently visited by tourists exploring San Francisco's Chinatown district.
The bronze Spanish galleon sculpture atop the granite base reflects the maritime themes prevalent in Stevenson's literary works such as Treasure Island.
