A close view of "The Shipwrecked" sculpture at Helsingfors, Finland. The bronze sculpture sits in the square on Tähtitorninmäki and depicts a shipwrecked family. The father, the central figure in the group, holds a small child in his arms and is calling for help. He is waving a scarf and looking towards their rescuers. Another child, a small boy, is stuck in what remains of the ship. The mother has collapsed and is lying on the raft. The statue by Robert Stigell (1852-1907) was erected in 1898.
