A seaside monument honoring Azorean whalers set in a small coastal square — strong silhouette against ocean and sky, local fishing boats and harbor as context. Visit at golden hour for warm side light and long shadows; overcast days bring moodier textures. Public, no entry fee; street parking nearby but expect limited spaces during festivals. Reflects local maritime history and makes a compact foreground element for wider coastal compositions.
