Fountain "Laivelis" ("Little Boat")

Fountain "Laivelis" ("Little Boat") located in a public square on Kurpju Street (Kurpių g.) in the Old Town of Klaipėda, Lithuania.

  • Design: The centerpiece of the fountain is a stylized, bronze-colored boat with vertical masts topped with stone spheres. Water jets shoot upward from the masts and the base, creating a lively water display.
  • Symbolism: The sculpture reflects Klaipėda's identity as a historic port city and its rich maritime heritage. It serves as a visual nod to the famous sailing ship "Meridianas", which is permanently moored nearby on the Danė River.
  • Surroundings: Set within a cozy pedestrian area, the fountain is surrounded by historic architecture and outdoor cafe terraces, making it a popular gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.
