Zone suggestion, monument in Torshavn: "Sjólátnu"
Posted: 18 Sep 2024 21:08
I have found a monument in Torshavn, worth a zone: Minnisvarði teirra sjólátnu. (sjólátnu = killed at sea) in memory of all sailors who died in WW2.
"The monument
On a hill in the middle of the park stands a monument to the drowned sailors. The monument is formed by a bronze statue of a sailor in traditional sea clothes, standing on a tall pillar of carved basalt stone. The shape of the pillar is reminiscent of a ship's anchor and Þórshamarinn, which is the symbol of Þórshavn. This monument can be seen from near and far and is one of the city's main landmarks."

I've put a suggestion in the app.
