In March 1891 the bark named «Dictator» from the town of Moss sank outside Virginia Beach in the States. Among the victims – the captain's wife and their young son.
The gallion figure of the sunken Norwegian ship was then placed on Virginia Beach. The locals named it The Norwegian Lady.
It was made in wood, but wood is not forever.
Two bronze copies were made of the gallion figure - one is now in Virginia Beach and the second is here in the harbour of Moss.
