Památník RACKOVA KŘÍDLA

"Racek je symbolem svobody. Zlomené křídlo představuje chorvatské námořníky, kteří padli za svobodu své vlasti..."

Pomník představuje stylizaci rackova křídla za letu jako symbol vítězství nad fašismem na Jadranu. Levé křídlo na památníku je ve vzpřímené letící pozici, zatímco pravé křídlo je ohnuté doleva dolů. Kromě oslavy vítězství památník symbolizuje i čest padlým za osvobození země, která je symbolizována právě zlomeným křídlem.

Autorem památníku je sochař Rajko Radović. Vysoký je více nž 20 metrů. Pomník slavnostně odhalil 10. října 1962 prezident Jugoslávie Josip Broz Tito k dvacátému výročí založení jugoslávského válečného námořnictva.


Spomenik GALEBOVA KRILA

"Galeb je simbol slobode. Slomijeno krilo predstavlja hrvatske mornare koji su poginuli u borbi za slobodu domovine..."

Spomenik predstavlja stilizirana galebova krila u letu što obilježava pobjedu nad fašizmom na Jadranskom moru. Lijevo krilo na spomeniku je uspravno, odnosno u letećem položaju, dok je desno je savinuto prema dolje nalijevo. Osim što se slavi pobjeda, spomenikom se odaje i počast palima za oslobođenje zemlje, simbol čega je slomljeno krilo.

Autor spomenika je kipar Rajko Radović. Visok je preko 20 metara. Spomenik je svečano otkrio predsjednik SFRJ, Josip Broz Tito, 10. rujna 1962 godine, na dvadesetu godišnjicu osnutka Jugoslavenske ratne mornarice.


The monument SEAGULL´S WINGS

"‘The seagull is a symbol of freedom. The broken wing represents Croatian seamen who fell for the freedom of their homeland..."

The monument represents a stylization of the seagull‘s wings in flight as a symbol of victory against fascism in the Adriatic region. The left wing is in a straight flying position whilst the right wing is bent down. Besides the celebration of victory, this monument symbolises honour to those who fell fighting for the liberation of their homeland, which is represented by the broken wing.

The creator of the statue is sculptor Rajko Radović. The monument is more than 20 metres high and was unveiled by president Josip Broz Tito on the 10th of October, 1962 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Yugoslavian navy.
