The sculpture commemorates the women who were left behind when almost all the fishermen who had gone out drowned after a storm disaster

A beautiful sculpture for a sad occasion. In 1883, 83 fishermen died in a storm and 17 ships were wrecked. The women and children of the Dore were suddenly alone.
