The work of Danuta and Zdzisław Koseda and Wawrzyniec Samp, and unveiled in 1976, Gdynia's tribute to Poland's most famous sea-faring author (born Teodor Józef Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857 - 1924), who hailed from Białystok and who as far as anyone can tell had no connections with Gdynia, sits splendidly opposite the city's Oceanographic Museum adding a touch of class to the pleasant concrete spit of land on which it's placed. The delightfully stylised monument is allegedly the only one in the world dedicated to the great man.
