Monument "Waiting"

This monument is dedicated to all women who are patiently waiting for their fathers, husbands or sons to return from the voyage. The bronze girl waves from a high pedestal, meeting the ship and giving a sign to the person dear to her. And next to it, a seagull is also invitingly flapping its wings.

The monument is installed on a granite pedestal. In the lower part of the monumental base there is a bas-relief with sea waves. On the pedestal there is an inscription in gold letters: "Able to wait." On a separate board fixed at the base of the monument, you can read lines from the poem by Viktor Timofeev:

"Let everyone who goes to sea for a long time,

Fishing vessels and ships –

Let them go to their native port, bring them home

This Waiting One is like an image of the whole earth."

The monument is located in a cozy park, there is an observation deck nearby, from which a beautiful panoramic view of the Kola Bay opens.

In semantic terms, the Waiting monument rhymes with a miniature monumentThe sea wolf, located in the Square of captains. The figure of the sailor has his back to the bay, which hints that he is returning from a voyage. Who knows, maybe he's going to the one Waiting.
