His Russalka Memorial, dedicated to the 177 lost sailors of the Ironclad warship Russalka, features a bronze angel on a slender column.
The Russalka Memorial is a bronze monument sculpted by Amandus Adamson, erected on 7 September 1902 in Kadriorg, Tallinn, to mark the ninth anniversary of the sinking of the Russian warship Rusalka, or "Mermaid", which sank en route to Finland in 1893.
In the spring of 2003 the Estonian Maritime Museum and the commercial diving company Tuukritööde OÜ launched a joint project of finding Rusalka which had sunk 110 years earlier.
