Norwegian Lady Statue, Virginia Beach

Norwegian Lady Statue, Virginia Beach

Located on the Oceanfront boardwalk area of Virginia Beach, the Norwegian Lady Statues are one-half of a memorial dedicated to a marine disaster involving a Norwegian boat. The other part of the memorial is located in Moss, a coastal town in Østfold, Norway. On March 27, 1891, the Norwegian Barque Dictator was lost in the Atlantic Ocean south of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay off Virginia Beach. The statues commemorate the lives lost in the shipwreck and the life-saving efforts of the community. Today the memorial has become a maritime icon for the people of Virginia Beach.
