The first statue was created by Guido Galletti and was inspired by Duilio Marcante, an Italian diving instructor. The monument was erected at the site of Dario Gonzatti's death in 1947, as the first Italian to utilize SCUBA equipment. It represents Jesus with his head and hands lifted in the air, extending a peace blessing. The second version at Grenada was created to commemorate the tragic loss of a British vessel and the heroic deeds of the fishermen who went out in their little vessels to rescue the passengers of the doomed ship. Amazingly, only one passenger died in the loss of the ship.
