"De Zalmvisser" was offered by the Damen shipyard to the municipality of Gorichem on the occasion of its 600th anniversary as a city. (November 1982)

It is a bronze statue made by Marcus Ravenswaaij. In order to finish the statue on time, Marcus cancelled his participation in an exhibition in Nîmes.

"The Salmon Fisherman" is placed next to the Dalempoort, on the rampart above the old salmon harbour, and is a reminder of the time when Gorinchem had a flourishing river fishery.

In the past, salmon fishing was practiced on the Dutch rivers. It's hard to imagine that now.
