    The imperishable sea, the ships that no longer exist and the simple men whose days will never return.
    Joseph Conrad


    The four-ton bronze monument by the sculptor Manfred Sihle-Wissel is the result of the initiative of the Cap Horniers and a specially founded association, Platz der Seefahrt, to build a fitting memorial for the fishermen and sailors who remained at sea. In the previous hundred years, almost 26,000 sailors from the German fishing and merchant shipping industry died a seaman's death.

    The Madonna of the Sea is a monument to the sailors who were lost at sea and to their relatives who remained behind. Created in 1985 based on an idea by Manfred Sihle-Wissel. A solemn memorial service takes place every year on the Sunday of the Dead.
    From the narrator Joseph Conrad, who was a sailor when he was young. Base inscription: "The imperishable sea, the ships that are no more and the simple men whose days will not return."
