    Vonin (Hope)

    Vonin. Monument dedicated to men from Grindavík who have drowned.

     

    In January 1952, a tragic sea accident occurred where the ship Grindvíkingur GK 39 sank with a crew of five during a storm at Hópsnes. Following this incident, Kvennnfélag Grindavíkur (women's association of Grindavík) established the Memorial Fund for drowned men from Grindavík. On the 25th anniversary of the fund, a sculpture by Ragnar Kjartansson was chosen as a monument and it was revealed on Sailors' Day in 1980. 

     

    The monument is located in the field at Mánagata and depicts a family of fishermen looking out to sea, waiting for the father's safe return to the port. The monument has an inscription that reads, "In patience and trust shall be your strength; Jes. 30.15.“
