Erected in honour of all the illustrious sailors, it is under the nickname "Cuverville" it is most often referred to, because of the orientation of the rear anatomy to the city. However, many people have forgotten that this popular nickname goes back to the memory of Vice Admiral of Cuverville, commander of the Mediterranean fleet in 1895.
