De Boeg is a war memorial in Rotterdam. It commemorates the 3,500 crew members of Dutch merchant ships who lost their lives in World War II. Fred Carasso's monument was unveiled by Princess Margriet on the corner of Boompjes and Leuvehaven on April 10, 1957. The 46 meter high aluminum construction symbolizes a bow in the concrete waves. Later, on July 15, 1965, an 8 meter high bronze sculpture group was added to the monument: a helmsman, three sailors and one drowned. On the side is the text: "They kept course".
