In 1902, the Rusalka Memorial was unveiled in the Reval district of Catharinenthal (now Kadriorg) to commemorate the sailors killed in the sinking of the Rusalka. It stands almost directly on the shore of the Baltic Sea. A promenade leads from the memorial directly to Catharinenthal Palace and its park.

The memorial depicts an angel standing on a granite pedestal, holding a gilded Orthodox cross in its outstretched right hand. It points to the presumed site of the ship's sinking. The sculpture is the first monumental work by the Estonian sculptor Amandus Adamson (1855–1929), who likely drew inspiration from the depiction of the Victory of Samothrace.

The 16-meter-high sculpture was erected by the sea, at the top of the promenade that begins in front of Kadriorg Palace. The monument depicts a bronze angel pointing with the cross to the sea in the direction of the presumed site of the shipwreck.
