Monument of Sailor, Maritime sculpture at Grunwald Square in Szczecin, Poland.

The Monument of Sailor features a helmsman figure standing behind a ship wheel, made from copper plates mounted on gray granite concrete plinth.

The monument was designed by sculptor Ryszard Chachulski and inaugurated in June 1980, marking a period of maritime development in Szczecin's port district.

The monument reflects the deep connection between Szczecin and its maritime traditions, serving as a tribute to the seafaring community of Poland.

Located along Pope John Paul II Avenue, the monument stands at 495 centimeters tall, with the copper statue itself measuring 385 centimeters in height.

Each December since 2017, the monument receives a Santa Claus costume made from 25 meters of fabric, requiring three people and 90 minutes to install.
