<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 75126, member: 56&quot;]I don&#039;t know if this counts or not, as it is a copy of an existing memorial:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]19353[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]19354[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The statue commemorates an interesting incident in 1904 when Russian warships fired on a number of harmless English fishing trawlers believing them to be Japanese torpedo boats. It was the time of the Russo-Japanese war and the Russian sailors were feeling more than a little nervous, there being rumors of Japanese torpedo boats in the North Sea. Three British fishermen died and even a couple of Russians who got caught in crossfire. This is known as the Dogger Bank Incident, which almost led to an English-Russian war. More detailed information can be found online.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]19355[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
