Estonia memorial, Maritime memorial in Djurgården, Sweden
The Estonia memorial consists of three wedge-shaped granite walls engraved with names of those lost in a maritime disaster. The site is located within a park setting and provides a quiet place for visitors to pause and reflect.
The memorial marks the sinking of a passenger ferry in 1994 while traveling between two Baltic ports. The memorial site was established afterward to remember this event and honor those who lost their lives.
Visitors and family members gather each September 28 to pay respects and leave flowers at this memorial site. The place becomes a space where people from different countries come together to share their grief and remember those lost.
The memorial is accessible throughout the year within a larger park where visitors can easily walk around. There is ample space for quiet contemplation and no special access requirements for the site.
An iron ring at the base of one of the granite blocks marks the exact coordinates where the ship went down in the water. Many visitors overlook this quiet detail that connects the memorial to the distant site of the tragedy.
