''For all of them who never came back from their job at sea''
For decades, fishing was the main industry of Scheveningen. That was before the increase in tourism. There are two harbors but earlier in the early 1900's the boats were dragged ashore the beach with horse- and men power.
This monument is in memory of all the fishermen who didn't came back from their job at sea. Every year the people of Scheveningen come together to remember them.
Scheveningen is a part of Den Haag the government's-city of Holland
(NL) Eeuwenlang was de visserij de enige inkomstenbron van Scheveningen en dat was voordat de toeristen en de badgasten kwamen. Er zij twee havens maar in het begin van 1900 werden de boten nog op het strand getrokken met paarden of met de hand.
Scheveningen is geen zelfstandige gemeente meer maar onderdeel van Den Haag
