Stavern, Norway
Gustav Vigeland (sculptor) created a bronze statue of Peder Tordenskjold that stands on a rock in the port of Stavern overlooking his old berth.
Tordenskjold (October 28, 1691-November 12, 1720), was an eminent Norwegian naval officer in the service of the King of Denmark-Norway. He rose to the rank of Vice-Admiral in the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy for his services in the Great Northern War. In Denmark as well as in Norway he is probably considered the most famous naval hero. An unusually successful rise in rank considering he died when he was only 29 years old.
