The Emigrants Monument, an evocative representation of Karl-Oskar and Kristina from William Moberg's novel 'The Emigrants', graces the beach promenade in Karlshamn's Hamnparken. Crafted by the skilled hands of Axel Olson, this life-size bronze statue was unveiled in 1959. Serving as a poignant memorial, it honours the over 1 million Swedes who, between 1848 and 1930, left their homeland in pursuit of a better life, escaping the clutches of hunger and poverty. Many embarked on their journey to the United States from the very port of Karlshamn. Olson's masterpiece captures the essence of this historical exodus, portraying Karl Oskar and Kristina gazing out over the sea, symbolizing the hopeful embarkation of countless emigrants on their transformative adventure.
