In bygone days a ship was almost human in the eyes of her crew and owner.

Both the name given and the figurehead at the bow personified each ship´s character.

Centuries of tradition lay behind the seaman’s feeling of superstition and awe for the figurehead.

All nations placed carved images of their gods on galleys to placate those gods.

During the centuries the lavish carvings that ornamented ship’s bore witness to the wealth and strength of the nations that launched them.

Since 1994 Hartmann-Sculptures founded and developed this special art field and has created a vast number of finest sculptures afloat, shaping the future of some luxury yachts with our mixture of innovative craftsmanship and a reliance on treasured carving tradition.
