Russalka Memorial (Estonian:Russalka mälestussammas) is a bronzemonument sculpted byAmandus Adamson, erected on 7 September 1902 inKadriorg,Tallinn,Estonia (then part of theRussian Empire) to mark the ninth anniversary of the sinking of the Russian warshipRusalka, or "Mermaid", which sank en route to Finland in 1893. It was the first monument in Estonia made by an Estonian sculptor.[1] The monument depicts an angel holding anOrthodox cross towards the assumed direction of the shipwreck. The model for the angel was the sculptor's housekeeper.[2]
In 2005,Eesti Post, the national postal service company, issued a postage stamp series for the 150th anniversary of the sculptor Adamson, with the Russalka Memorial depicted on the cover.
