Sjømannsmonumentet, Maritime memorial in Torgallmenningen, Norway
The monument features twelve bronze figures of sailors mounted on a granite base, with reliefs depicting different periods of maritime history.
Created between 1939 and 1945 by sculptor Dyre Vaa, the monument opened in 1950 after delays caused by World War II.
The sculptures represent Norwegian maritime traditions from Viking times through the 20th century, with each figure based on local Telemark farmers.
The monument stands in Bergen's central square and includes a water basin at its base, with full wheelchair access for visitors.
Relief scenes on the monument show historical encounters between Vikings and Native Americans during early exploration voyages.
