The monument of Fred Carasso was unveiled on 10 April 1957 by Princess Margriet on the corner of the Boompjes and the Leuvehaven. The 46-metre-high aluminium structure symbolises a bow in the concrete waves. Later, on July 15, 1965, an 8-meter-high bronze sculpture group was added to the monument: a helmsman, three sailors and a drowned man. On the side is the text: "They kept course".
