Merki sjómanna (The sailors sign)

The Fishermen Monument, created by artist Ásmundur Sveinsson, stands in the field between Hafnargata and Ægisgata. It was unveiled on Fishermen's Day in 1978 to commemorate drowned and missing fishermen. Originally located above Holtskóli, it was moved to its current location in 2000. The monument faces Keflavík Church with the sea in the background. It is a large geometric work, standing 6 meters high, depicting a ship's heading with an anchor. A lifebuoy is attached to the hull by ropes, sitting above the anchor. The anchor rests on sea waves that represent the hands of the Almighty. Visitors can walk around the monument on a paved rise and sit on the benches next to it.

 

There are many interesting things to explore in the immediate proximity. In the field, you can find other sculptures as well as relics from the Local history museum. The coastal path starts at the ocean, offering stunning views and outdoor artwork. Additionally, Duushús, which is home to Reykjanesbær's Art Museum and Reykjanesbær's Local history Museum, is located nearby.

 

More information can be found further down the page.

 

The artist Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982) was a pioneer in Icelandic sculpture. He is known for simple figurative sculptures as well as abstract works. His sculptures can be found throughout the country, particularly in Reykjavík, where he donated his works and home, which now functions as a museum. https://listasafnreykjavikur.is/en/asmundarsafn/ásmundur
