Monument aux héros et victimes de la mer
Monument aux héros et victimes de la mer, War memorial in Parc du Pharo, Marseille, France
The bronze monument features three sailors in action, with one standing sailor helping another while a third figure lies on a tilted boat.
Senator Paul Peytral initiated the memorial project in 1913, but World War I delayed its construction until its inauguration on July 14, 1923.
The sculpture represents the strong maritime heritage of Marseille and commemorates the lives of all sailors who perished in naval conflicts.
The memorial stands at 58 Boulevard Charles Livon in the seventh district, accessible through public transportation and offering views of Fort Saint-Jean.
The original model of this maritime monument remains preserved in the Bouches-du-Rhône departmental archives for historical documentation.
