On 8 November 2018, the third statue of the Longshoreman was unveiled. It is strategically placed in front of School 7 where many a longshoreman cycled to and from the yard on his bike. Earlier, the “The Longshoreman with Bag” and “The Longshoreman with Rope” were placed along Beatrixstraat.

The statues, donated to the city by the Woningstichting (Housing Foundation), show various professions and symbolize the historical link between Den Helder and the Willemsoord naval yard. They belong to a series of five statues created by artist Peter Erftemeijer.

On Stationsplein near the Julianaplein, there are five statues by the artist Yair Aschkenasy.
