„Robert Surcouf (1773–1827), one of the most famous privateers from Saint-Malo, became known for his successful raids against British merchant ships. Because of his courage and successes, he was nicknamed the ‘King of Privateers’. The monument on the city wall today commemorates the legendary seafarer.“

Surcouf made a name for himself during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars by capturing numerous British merchant ships in the Indian Ocean. His daring privateering brought him wealth and fame—and both respect and fear from the British. Upon his return, he settled in Saint-Malo and became a respected shipowner.
