This is the sculpture of Frans Naerebout (1748-1818) at the sea front in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

Frans Naerebout was not only an excellent pilot but a brave rescuer of shipwrecked as well (he rescued 487 people on several events). In Holland we have still nowadays the saying 'Onverschrokken Naerebout'. It's said to a person who has courage and is fearless.
