By the sea in Preila, nearby the central rescue station, a memorial monument depicting paddles has been built. It is dedicated to the traveller Gintaras Paulionis. A fierce gale and roaring waves of the Baltic Sea have prevented the tireless traveller to successfully finish his meaningful and patriotic journey that promotes the name of Lithuania. During this journey, he has travelled to Copenhagen in his own rowing boat, named after the Danish traveller Alfred Jensen, and, on his return, has died in the crash of the waves just nearby the coast of Preila.
The monument was built in 1996 by Julius Narušis.
