Amerikakaj

It was originally known simply as Vestkaj (English: West Quay) but received its current name in 1965 to commemorate the transatlantic passenger ships which used it as a berth.

Halfway along the quay, on a flight of stairs, is a statue of a young girl, commemorating the Danish mormons who were among the first Danes to emigrate to America.

It is created by the American sculptor Dennis Smith and symbolically depicts his great-grandmother Kristina (Christina) Beck who in 1868 emigrated with her parents from Saltum in Vendsyssel in the far north of Jutland to Utah.

Installed on 6 July 2000, the statue depicts the girl facing a strong wind as she looks out across the North Sea prior to the family's departure for America where they settled in Alpine, Utah.

The setts on the promenade beneath the statue are inscribed with about 200 names and the year of their departure of Danish mormons who all emigrated to Utah in the period from 1850 until 1900.
