Top 29 things to do and attractions in Haugesund

Haraldshaugen is located in Haugesund, just beside the city center. It is a historical monument celebrating the unification of Norway as one kingdom. At the top, you will see a nice coastal view. There is also a campsite nearby and trails for walking.

Remember to take a walk to see the goats! The white horses are about a 10-15 min walk down a path up and down! Views are nice!

Very cool to see and some great walks along the water front. Highly recommend the walk as there’s lots of little treats to discover along the way.

Must visit if you love history. And make sure you take a walk on the coastal path, it’s gorgeous out there.

Norways National Monument. Free to visit. Signifying the unification of Norway. The coastal walk along here is very picturesque with lots of sea craft coming and going, recommend going up to the rising tides sculpture just up the coast from here also.

Great site. Long way from thr city centre. Around 1 hour each way but walking on main roads.

The final resting place of Norways first Viking King Harald Hårfagre / Harald Fairhair. 🤴 It says in the Norse books, that he was the one who joined whole of Norway to 1 kingdom in 852 after killing all of the small Viking kings and ruled for 70 years.

Nice city walk 👍🏼

A nice place in Haugesund

Super

(Translated by Google) This town hall was once voted the most beautiful town hall in Norway, you can't argue about taste, I didn't like it that much (Original) Dieses Rathaus wurde mal zum schönsten Rathaus in Norwegen gewählt, über Geschmack kann man halt nicht streiten, mir hat es nicht so gut gefallen

(Translated by Google) If you are in Haugesund you should look at the town hall, it has been voted the most beautiful town hall in Norway. Nice place to take a break. Haraldsgata in Haugesund is said to be the “longest pedestrian street in Norway”. (Original) Wenn man in Haugesund ist sollte man sich das Rathaus ansehen, es ist zum schönsten Rathaus Norwegens gekürt worden. Schöner Platz zum Pause machen. Die Haraldsgata in Haugesund soll die “längste Fußgängerzone Norwegens” sein.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place. Just wander through. (Original) Sehr schöner Ort. Einfach mal durchwandern.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic place with great experiences. (Original) Fantastisk sted med fine opplevelser.

Eivindsvannet Lake in Djupadalen, a recreation area, is so peaceful and beautiful. It is located near the centre of Haugesund, Norway. There are many trails including one around the lake. There is a big car park just across the road.

Lovely place. Full of snow. Fantastic views. One of many beautiful place around Haugesund. A beautiful lake here as well. Have a good size, free car park as well. In the summer, a great place for barbeque.

Very good place for easy walk

Beautiful nature walks and the scenery was gorgeous. Many forest trails to choose from. Good for families and friends. Also trails for biking and near the lake there was tiny sand areas which are idyllic for the summer.

Great walking trails and beautiful lake. Has public toilets and public barbeques (bring your own coal). Small slide for children. Great for a swim on sunny summer days.

Beautiful scenery! We took the walk up to orkja summit and it was lovely. Lots of picnic benches on the lake edge for our picnic on the way back.

Amazing its so butiful

A beautiful and peaceful church in the heart of Haugesund. Vår Frelsers kirke is a lovely example of traditional Norwegian architecture, with its red brick facade and striking interior details. Whether you're attending a service, enjoying a concert, or just stopping in for a quiet moment, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The stained glass and woodwork inside are truly worth seeing. A calming spot that adds so much charm to the town.

Certainly worth visiting if you’re in Haugesund and are in the vicinity. The chimes are amazing

Beautiful church - simple and charming. Plenty of merry tunes being played on the carillon bells when I left.

Came here in early June on a cruise to Norwegian fjords. Only saw from outside, it was not opened.

Beautiful clean quiet church in a gothic style. We’ll appointed wood and brick. Built in 1901 according to the plaque.

Lovely little church. Open on a Thursday when we went. (June 2023) A nice lady there says its usually open in Summer months.

Wonderful church, with some pleasant organ music.

Not very big and no vr, but the interactive screens were really interesting The selfie screen was fun

Good , informative. Just book direct online instead of any cruise trip operators. Easy to walk to from the port. Maybe smaller than expected. There are toilets and a lift to get to the museum floor.

It was very small, but lots to see in the museum and some beautiful things to buy in the shop. The highlight is definitely the free AI photo though. Probably the best souvenirs of our holiday 🤣

Great value. My 12 year old really liked the AI to see what he looked like as a viking although small queue. Lots of reading but fun facts went down well. Amazing staff!

Disappointing experience. Not worth the price! For the price of admission, we found it very underwhelming. The experience was limited to essentially one room, which felt overcrowded due to the large number of people in each group. This made it difficult to engage properly with the interactive screens, as there simply wasn’t enough space to enjoy them fully. Most of the information on display could easily be found online, so it didn’t offer anything particularly unique or immersive. There were also not enough headphones for the introductory movie clip, which meant some missed it entirely. The AI picture, which could have been a fun feature, was chaotic. There was no staff present to manage the area, leading to kids messing around and a long, disorganised queue. Overall, our family did not enjoy the experience and felt it was poor value for money. We would not recommend this to others.

Nice to visit, nice digital things to do, but way overpriced. 42 euro’s for 2 tickets. In comparison , the Guggenheim in New York & the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where the most famous, valuable and impressive art in the ENTIRE WORLD is displayed , is the same price for an entree ticket 🤣 It’s 2 rooms with printed plates of artifacts located in other museums, but charge the same price as the museum that they are in probably 😜 Feels a bit like a tourist trap, which is sad, because you see the need of tourism for this town. You have to make attractions like this more accessible and a positive experience, for tourists to come back and talk about the museum and their experience.

The museum is quite small and very dark, there is a vast amount of information on the screens but getting through them can be difficult when other people are reading at different places. The information is very interesting and there is an interactive photo booth that turns you in to a viking

Wow! The best cupcakes I have ever tasted. A variety of delicious flavours amongst other things. And very good coffee to wash them down. If in Haugesund I would say Jåblom Bakst is a must!!!

Stopped off here and I had the pistachio cupcake and a latte. Oh my it was pretty special. Lovely little place, friendly staff and amazing cakes! Will definitely be back if we ever get a cruise stop at the same port again. Highly recommend

After getting off the cruise ship, we walked through the shopping street and found Cupcakehuset. It looked nice from the outside, so we decided to stop – and we’re glad we did. The café is really beautiful, with lots of flowers and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. I had a cappuccino and a cupcake – both were excellent. The cupcake looked amazing and tasted even better. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you’re in the area, take the time to stop by. Totally worth it.

Dangerous place 😎 And most difficult to pick something. Been here 4 years ago and it's great to see the place growing and thriving. The cupcakes with berries are crazy good. In fact, everything so far was delicious. 60Nok for a single piece is not cheap, but totally worth it. Better get a 4 or 6 pack and safe (just not on calories).

Visited the town on a cruise, happened upon this beautiful little cake shop, and im so glad I did! Genuinely think it was the best cupcake I've ever had! Wish I'd bought more! If I was ever in town again I'd rush straight here!

Excellent coffee, double espresso americano. If heaven has raspberry cheesecake it will taste like this. Great service, unable to sit in the cafe as it was so busy. Sat on table outside. Highly recommend a visit.

During a recent visit, I was served a cupcake with a visible strand of hair embedded in the frosting (photo attached). This is not only off-putting, but a serious lapse in food safety and quality control. Presentation matters — and so does cleanliness. A single hair in food is a glaring sign of poor kitchen practices. It ruined what could have been an enjoyable review of their product. I expect better from any bakery serving the public, especially one that positions itself as a boutique cupcakery. Until proper hygiene protocols are clearly in place, I cannot in good faith recommend The Cupcake House to my readers or followers I was excited to try their cupcakes, but when I opened the box and took a closer look, there was a long hair baked right into the frosting. Absolutely unacceptable and beyond disgusting. It’s clear there is no proper hygiene or quality control in their kitchen. I lost my appetite completely and couldn’t even take a bite after seeing that hair stuck in the frosting. For a place that charges premium prices for their “artisanal” cupcakes, I expected much, much better. I won’t be returning, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone who values basic cleanliness in their food. As a food critic with over 300,000 followers who regularly engage with my reviews and photos, I feel it’s important to be transparent when a dining experience falls drastically below standard.

It's okay, a couple of photos, and you are essentially done. Decent walk from the ship though, unless you take the sightseeing bus, which drops you off/picks you up adjacent to the small park and school approx 100 yards away.

A striking tribute to Norway's first king! The King Harald Fairhair statue stands proudly overlooking the sea, and you can really feel the sense of history in the air. It's a peaceful and scenic spot, with great views and a lovely surrounding park. There’s also some informative signage nearby if you want to learn more about Harald Fairhair and his role in uniting Norway. Well worth a visit if you're in Haugesund—both for the photo op and the quiet moment of reflection.

Very nice statue. The view is fantastic as well.

A pleasant walk from the port to this location. Unfortunately, there's only one bridge crossing from where the cruise ship docks, and that bridge is a little mountain to climb! It's worth the walk, though, as it's a lovely location with great views.

Simple but significant historic & cultural statue in the city centre area. Easy walk providing panoramic views. Not a lot of information provided at site.

Nice place to visit, beautiful view, calm and a lot of flowers ^^ Statue looks nice

Harald Fairhair statue, a monument dedicated to the first King of Norway. The statue itself is a striking piece of art, capturing the grandeur and legacy of Harald Fairhair. It stands tall and majestic, offering a fitting tribute to a figure of such historical importance. It is 20 minutes walking distance from the national monument, and both should be visited. I was surprised to see that there were no plaques or information boards near the statue, so I looked up the history myself.

Came here in early June on a cruise to Norwegian fjords. This is not a tourist attraction but riding local buses to out of town to view the country side. Some nice scenery along the way

Overall it’s a good space, but the people working at the stores are not very nice to foreigners…

I think Amanda storesenter is the joy of our area. Many stores of any kind. Serves good the customer experience. Nice modern building and stores. You can shop and have a coffee or a meal in decent places.

One of the main shopping centers in the region, there is enough parking place and anything you need to spend the entire day here 👌🏻

Okay mall, doesn't seem to have the best location around, and seems like the stores are only threw in there at random. Not many customers around, except for the Grocery store, wich is to be expected. Have a big competion with a more thought through mall couple of minutes away.

Very good and convenient. Everything under one roof. A good place to meet friends for a coffee than do some shopping 👍

it got basically every shop you might need except a big electronic shop located inside the centre. Also, Amanda doesnt got a Vinmonopol. Multiple fast food, clothing and grocery options.

Well what can I say...... its a statue of what resembles Marilyn Monroe..... I have seen better statues in a £ shop 😂

A little random... Not sure what the point is, but it's nice to celebrate icons I guess :)...Not something that needs more than a two-minute visit imo

Nice walk to the statue which is in a nice area. Worth the walk from the cruise ship for a photo

Statue of the famed blonde bombshell via the marina. It is said to be "a tribute to her Norwegian heritage, as her father, a baker, is believed to have emigrated from the area to the USA" according to the web.

You may wonder why? Why is there a statue of Marilyn Monroe in the middle of Norway? Well, her Dad was a baker in the town and then immigrated to America, and subsequently fathered Norma. A nice little tribute

This is a lovely place to visit when you are in Haugaund. I visited a few times now and feel I have to touch her foot and make a wish. It's a beautiful place with lovely views. If you are in town I highly recommend visiting Marilyn and saying hello. Fun fact it is believed that her father was from this town.

Basic statue on the shoreline between a hotel & construction site, is not a glamorous location. The statue itself is OK, even though any link Marilyn had with Haugesund is tenuous at best & it seems likely erroneous. Even so it remains on the tourist sites list.

Very clean, nice facilities but really only contains a few.clothes shops, a pharmacy and a small supermarket. Got nice fresh fruit in the supermarket though.

Great supermarket for picking up a few essentials

quite a good little shopping mall

Market was not open when we visited

Very convenient, you have everything that you need 👍🙂 It was a pity that the H&M shop closed permanently! But overall it is a good place to do your shopping and have a coffee .

We were unfortunate with the weather. Some interesting buildings to see . Plenty of shops some to wander around.. Not our most interesting stop on our visit to Norway

Found a shop called Normal, sells everything, just brilliant

Great hike nice and easy. Great views of coast line.

Nice and historic place with view to the Haraldshaugen

Interesting ancient stone cross close to the coastal path so worth the quick detour to see.

Nice cross with a great view!

Amazing view.

Holy place

Online it says it opens at 8 am, but they don't open before 9 am. When we got there at 9, they said they would be there by 10 am. We booked a car from 9 am and had a ferry to catch.

I spend $4000 just on cleaning the car, would have been cheaper to buy and sell a car for the same period i rented a car. too expensive and the insurance doesn¨t cover anything.

(Translated by Google) beautiful place (Original) مكان جميل

A very interesting private collection of WWII memorabilia based around the German occupation of Norway. Worth a visit if you have a couple of hours to spare.

Impressive and memorable! I’ve never seen a tank this close before – the size, the detail, the history behind it… everything makes it a must-see. A powerful experience, even if you’re not a military enthusiast.

A great museum full of military equipment and uniforms, with scenes showing German occupation of Norway.

Fabulous place do not miss it has 3 floors my favourite was the top floor all exhibitions are fascinating and well worth the small entrance fee. Staff are welcoming there is a lift (elevator) to get you up to all floors for accessibility issues .

Really good exibition the English quide booked helped but so much info in Norwegian slowed it down but the equipment looked genuine and a lot of it.

If you already know quite a bit about WWII then this collection will be worth seeing. The museum does not do a thorough job explaining WWII, but it does have an impressive collection of artifacts that gives you an idea of Norway's perspective on the war. There is an exhibit pamphlet that allows you to read about the items that are displayed, and it can be a lot of reading if you want to read everything.

Fantastic museum , Lots of items on showcase here , Guide book has numbers that correlate to the exhibits so you can see what things are in english ( and I'm sure they have it in other languages also) , You can also purchase the guide book for 50 nok to support the museum , There is a small cafe in the entrance that sells drinks and other merchandise

Hidden gem of a museum great insights into early Norwegian family life. Excellent guide lovely setting great value also gets you into art museum. However I have s burning question can anyone tell me who the artist is who painted the very large painting behind reception of women working ?

Very good small Museum, very lovely staff that speak good English. They have small cafe area with ready brewed coffee in a thermos flask. Cold drinks from the fridge and a seating area. As we walked in I enquired was there a Viking ship inside as we had thought but we were told unfortunately not. So we decided not to enter the museum hall. Never the less a pleasant pit stop on our travels from the port, this is just over the bridge close to the statue of Kind Harald Fair Hair.

Visited on Monday and had an amazing time, lovely staff and great history. Would definitely recommend the guided tour. Impeccable value for money.

The girls who gave the viewing of the houses were amazing. We got to literally go back in time over 200 years. The kids loved it too. Lots to do for them. They even had an art center. Where the kids could make boats 🚢 very cheep too only 14 euro for a family

We really enjoyed this. Madeline did a guided tour at midday, which was funny and informative. It really brought the experience to life. Highly recommended.

It's an interesting collection of buildings, mostly from the 1800s. We mainly visited since admission to the Arqebus war museum includes admission here.

Small museum but very interesting and good tour learning about the history. Approximately £5 for an adult

It’s free and has nice info not a lot of English translation though

Excellent displays with lots of local history, just a shame some of it is not translated to english. (But maybe thats just our own fault for never wanting to learn other languages!)

A pleasant surprise. Very friendly staff. Lots of tools etc used on farms. I loved the painted wooden furniture displays and woven rugs. A silent film of photos of 19th and early 20th century Haugesund was playing on a loop and really gave an atmospheric and evocative impression of how hard life must have been.

Very nice staff, great place, but some descriptions are not translated to english

Small but packed with exhibits and a warm welcome too. Definitely worth a visit.

Fun and very informative. Staff was very helpful as well.

Loved the fishing and farming exhibits. Welcoming staff who speak excellent English :)

(Translated by Google) A nice place to swim, well prepared for food before or after, the only problem is that there tend to be a lot of people there on fine days (Original) Et fint sted å bade ig godt tilrette lagt for mat før eller etter, eneste problemet er at det pleier å være sykt mye folk der på fine dager

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place for recreation where you get close to nature, but at the same time have easy access to the city. The walk around took just under half an hour at a moderate walking pace. Extra star for the beautiful swans. Can't get a full rating as parts of the path were asphalt and went into a residential area. Otherwise: Recommended! (Original) Et nydelig sted for rekreasjon hvor du kommer tett på naturen, men samtidig ha lett tilgang til byen. Turen rundt tok i underkant av en halvtime i moderat gangtempo.

(Translated by Google) Festival The Festival in Vangen is a music festival in Haugesund's most beautiful hiking area. Located by Lake Skeisvatnet and within walking distance of the center of Haugesund lies a gem of a festival area that has lain fallow since the legendary Vise - and the Lyric Festival gathered an incredible 18,000 people here in 1972. The festival was held for the first time in August 2017, as a one-day music festival for a festival-hungry local population. Despite a Westland cloudburst of epic proportions, the crowd came, setting the stage for an extended festival in 2018 - three days of fantastic artists, good food and plenty of drink. Both the rain and the audience showed up, but this time the audience was in the majority, demonstrating that life was made for The Festival in Vangen. Haraldsvang Nature Park The area is bounded in the north by Skeisvoldsveien (county road), in the east by Arkavatnet, in the west by Skeisvatnet and in the south by Haraldshallen/Haraldsvang school. The area consists of many hiking trails, varied vegetation with many large trees, a swimming area with a diving tower, a cafe, a party area and a playground. Haraldsvang nature park is a central part of the green structure in Haugesund. With a short distance to residential areas, the area can be reached quickly and easily. (Original) Festival Den Festivalen i Vangen er en musikkfestival i Haugesunds flotteste turområdet. Beliggende ved Skeisvatnet og i gangavstand fra Haugesund sentrum ligger en perle av et festivalområde som har ligget brakk siden den legendariske Vise – og lyrikkfestivalen samlet utrolige 18 000 mennesker her i 1972. Festivalen ble arrangert for første gang i august 2017, som en éndags musikkfest for en festivalhungrig lokalbefolkning. Til tross for vestlandsk skybrudd av episke dimensjoner kom publikum, og la til rette for en utvidet festival i 2018 – tre dager med fantastiske artister, god mat og nok drikke. Både regnet og publikum stilte opp, men denne gangen var publikum i flertall, og demonstrerte at det var liv laga for Den Festivalen i Vangen. Haraldsvang Naturpark Området avgrenses i nord av Skeisvoldsveien (fylkesvei), i øst Arkavatnet, i vest Skeisvatnet og i sør Haraldshallen/Haraldsvang skole. Området består av mange turveger, variert vegetasjon med mange store trær, badeplass med stupetårn, kafé, festplass og lekeplass.Haraldsvang naturpark er en sentral del av grønstrukturen i Haugesund. Med kort avstand til boområder kan området nås raskt og lettvint.

(Translated by Google) Decent enough area for some recreation. Great hiking trails in the area. (Original) Greit nok område for litt rekreasjon. Flotte turløyper i området.

(Translated by Google) This park has great potential to be amazing. But as of today, it is a great place for all ages. Here hgsd Kommune has a lot to do before the park gets up to a good level., for example junior had to go through the toll pocket today, on an icy steel seat. Nothing, neither soap nor paper towels.. Embarrassing in my opinion. We could have had a lot of different devices around the entire tour area of ​​different muscle groups. For example.. (Original) Denne parken har stort potensiale til å bli fantastisk. Men pr dags dato så er det en flott plass for alle aldre. Her har hgsd Kommune en del å gjøre før parken kommer opp på et bra nivå., feks junior måtte på bomlommen i dag, på et iskaldt stålsete. Ikke noe verken såpe eller tørkepapir.. Flaut syns eg. Vi kunne hatt mye forskjellige apparater rundt hele turområde av forskjellig muskelgrupper. Feks..

(Translated by Google) A great walking area for an old man with his daughter's dog. Then we have to endure the noise of the construction site for a new school. It will pass anyway.

(Translated by Google) Nice place for swimming and eating. If you want to have food while bathing, the Vangen terrace is a good place for that. Nice swimming area that has diving towers from 2-10 metres. Would really recommend this place for those who want to see what Vager has to offer (Original) Fin plass for bading og spising. Hvis du vil ha mat samtidig bade så er vangen terassen en god plass for det. Fin badeplass som har stupetårn fra 2-10 meter.

Nice to see and walk around history.

WW2... Time flyes

A very interesting place of great historical value.

Great outdoors site on ocean shore

Awesome

Calm place.

(Translated by Google) Worth a visit in good weather. A remote spot with great views and parts of an old fortress. (Original) Bei schönen Wetter eine Reise wert. Ein abgelegenen Ort mit toller Aussicht und Teilen einer alter Festungsanlage.

Great little gallery full of Norwegian art.

Not much to see!! Didn’t stay long to give it much of a review . There are toilets, lovely park opposite. You can buy refreshments and a seating area

A bit of a trek from the cruise terminal (shuttles available do reduce the distance), but what an interesting place. We were lucky to catch the Norwegian traditional clothing exhibition which was most interesting. Coffee available.

A bit mad... in a weirdly hypnotic way. You can visit the local museum in town (which is surprisingly interesting with staff speaking perfect English and a coffee shop) and this on the same ticket. 👍

A bit disappointing. Not enough exhibitors for a large space. Staff very friendly.

Art lover? Here you can have some varities.

Not much to see. Much of the gallery space was closed whilst awaiting a new exhibition but we were still charged 70 Kr. each. Disappointing.

(Translated by Google) The statue "Fiskerne" which was given to the city over 100 years ago by Consul B. Stolt-Nielsen in honor of the city of Haugesund and is today a well-known landmark in Haugesund. On Monday 22 December 1919, Consul B. Stolt-Nielsen declared that he would give the statue "The Fishermen" as a gift to the city. The statue, created by artist Sofus Madsen, is to this day perhaps the center of Haugesund's most famous landmark and meeting place, and in 2020 turned 100 years old. Today, it may be obvious to many that this is where the statue belongs, but Madsen originally made the statue 8-10 years before it was exhibited in Haugesund. The plan was for the statue to stand in Bergen, but the city fire in Bergen led to such projects taking a back seat. On 14 December 1919, Madsen opened an exhibition in Haugesund, where a miniature of the "Fishermen" was one of the statues on display. In conversation with Haugesund Dagblad, the possibility of erecting the statue in Haugesund was brought up. The artist immediately took an interest in the proposal, as did Consul B. Stolt-Nielsen, who was then a parliamentary representative in Oslo. When he read about the proposal in Haugesund's Dagblad, he immediately contacted the editor and informed them that he was willing to pay the full sum for the erection of the statue, and asked them to get started "as quickly as possible" (Haugesund's Dagblad 1919). The fishermen cost Stolt-Nielsen 31,000, which corresponds to over 400,000 today (Eilertsen 2000). The plan was to unveil the statue on 17 May 1920, but when the plaster cast was ready in February of the same year, it turned out that no Norwegian foundries were able to cast it in bronze by the given time. The assignment ended in Copenhagen, at Jensen's broce støberi. They set themselves the goal of having the statue ready before 17 May 1920. In itself, this was an ambitious schedule, but then the Danish government unexpectedly resigned, which led to a general strike in the country and the casting was delayed by several weeks. It ended with the unveiling in Torgbakken taking place on 2 Whitsunday 1920. Text borrowed from Haugesund Library. (Original) Statuen "Fiskerne" som ble sjenket byen for over 100 år siden av Konsul B. Stolt-Nielsen til heder av Haugesund by og er i dag et velkjent landemarke i Haugesund. Mandag 22. desember 1919 erklærte Konsul B. Stolt-Nielsen at han ville gi statuen «Fiskerne» i gave til byen. Statuen, laget av kunstner Sofus Madsen er den dag i dag kanskje Haugesund sentrums mest kjente landemerke og møteplass, og fylte i 2020 altså 100 år. I dag er det kanskje selvsagt for mange at det er her statuen hører hjemme, men Madsen laget opprinnelig statuen 8-10 år før den ble utstilt i Haugesund. Planen var at statuen skulle stå i Bergen, men bybrannen i Bergen førte til at slike prosjekter havnet i baksetet. 14. desember 1919 åpnet Madsen en utstilling i Haugesund, der en miniatyr av «Fiskerne» var en av statuene utstilt. I samtale med Haugesund Dagblad ble muligheten for å reise statuen i Haugesund brakt på bane. Kunstneren fattet straks interesse for forslaget, det samme gjorde konsul B. Stolt-Nielsen, som da var stortingsrepresentant i Oslo. Da han fikk lese om forslaget i Haugesunds Dagblad tok han straks kontakt med redaktøren og informerte om at han var villig til å betale hele summen for reisningen av statuen, og bad dem gå i gang «hurtigst mulig» (Haugesunds Dagblad 1919). Fiskerne kostet Stolt-Nielsen 31 000, noe som tilsvarer over 400 000 i dag (Eilertsen 2000). Planen var å avduke statuen 17. mai 1920, men da gipsavstøpningen var klar i februar samme år viste deg seg at ingen norske støperier var i stand til å støpe den i bronse til gitt tid. Oppdraget endte i København, på Jensens brocestøberi. De tok mål av seg å ha statuen klar før 17 mai 1920. I seg selv var dette en ambisiøs tidsplan, men så gikk den danske regjeringen uventet av, noe som førte til generalstreik i landet og støpningen ble forsinket med flere uker. Det endte med at avdukingen i Torgbakken fant sted 2. pinsedag 1920. Tekst lånt fra Haugesund Biblioteket.
