> Your photogragh of the monument on the Boompjeskade, near the Erasmus

> The memorial bears the nickname "the bow" because it shows a bow that cuts
> through the waves. It was designed by Frederico Carasso and it was on 10
> april 1957 unveiled by Princess Margriet.
> The monument is 45 meters high and made of steel and stone. In 1965, there
> is a sculpture of five seamen attached to the memorial. The memorial is
> placed in memory of all allied seamen who died during the Second World War.

> The memorial, made by Ossip Zadkine in 1953, commemorating the bombardment
> of Rotterdam on 14 May 1940 is made of bronze and about 6 metres tall.
> The statue is named “The Destroyed City".
