Memorial to those who stayed at sea (Averøy)
The memorial for those who remained at sea is a memorial in the Norwegian municipality of Averøy in Fylke Møre og Romsdal .
The memorial was erected in 2000 by the fishermen Averøys. It is located on the shore of Lyngholmen Island at the exit of the Lauvøyfjord . The Atlantic Road runs just a little south of the monument . From a parking lot on the street, a well-developed circular hiking trail leads over Lyngholmen, on the western half of which the monument stands. A little further to the southwest is the Storseisund Bridge .
The memorial consists of a fenced-in stele . A relief shows a boat in heavy seas and hands folded over it or a symbolic hand shaking. The inscription reads:
TIL MINNE OVER
OMKOMNE PÅ HAVET
TANKENE GÅR TILL ALL
DEM SOM REISTE UT,
MEN KOM ALDRI HJEM

AVERØY FISKARLAG

(German: In memory of / those who remained at sea / The thoughts are directed towards everyone / who went out / but never returned / Established by the / fishing community Averøy / in 2000 )
There are two more inscriptions at the entrance to the area delimited by the posts. On the left is in German :

The text is reproduced in English on the right :
