Sailor's Wife & Maritime Museum

(Swedish: Sjömanshustrun & Sjöfartmuseet) The tower was erected in 1933 in memory of the Swedish sailors who lost their lives on board Swedish merchant ships during World War I. The names of the 690 sailors who perished and the 98 ships that sank are inscribed in the plinth of the tower. In 1934 the sculpture "Woman by the sea", popularly called "Sailor's Wife" came into place. She is looking out over the harbour of Gothenburg and was made by Ivar Johnsson.
