Kay Bojesen was inspired by several uniformed agencies, which can be seen in the Standard bearer and Policeman, among other figurines. The original Marine figurine has a charming expression with a slimmer silhouette and the hat at an angle. The dark blue uniform, the slanted hat and the striped scarf makes a beautiful maritime look. Kay Bojesen went on a voyage and on his way, he sailed as the only registered passenger on a Russian cargo ship named Minsk. Kay Bojesen’s statement about the sailors read “They all became my friends and the ship my home”.
