On the left bank of the Danė River, where the banks recall the shadows of sails and the breath of wind, seven bronze bollards are installed – silent witnesses to the voyages and dreams of outstanding Lithuanian sailors.

Three yachts were symbolically honoured: Lietuva, Dailė and Audra, who, in 1993, on the wave of the spirit of Sąjūdis, adorned with the Lithuanian tricolour, crossed the Atlantic. Their voyage became a symbol of independence.

One of the bollards is dedicated to Gintaras Paulionis, who conquered the Baltic Sea in the Alfredas Jansenas rowing boat in 1994, and another to the Anna of Sand Norwegian sailing ship, which is one of the oldest fishing vessels in Europe.

‘One name – Lithuania’ was the motto of the Millennium Odyssey – a yachtsmen voyage around the world that started in 2008, showing the perseverance and courage of the nation. It is commemorated by the bollard dedicated to the Ambersail yacht (2009).

The bollard installed most recently (in 2018) honours Bronius Rožinskas, who crossed the Atlantic in a yacht in 1962-1963, dedicating his voyage to the Lithuanian nation.

The embankment is a gallery of honour in bronze, reminding that Lithuania is a maritime state with its own heroes and its own legendary ships.
