Description

Sterke Dries, eller statue til ære for fiskerne, er et populært fiskermonument. Dette monument kan ses på diget i Blankenberge, ved fyrtårnet ved indgangen til havnen.

Det oprindelige billede blev lavet af billedhugger Guillaume Charlier fra Elsene i 1854.

Sterke Dries var kaldenavnet på den kendte Blankenberg-fisker Jurewyt Andries, der levede fra 1818 til 1896. Dries var kun bange for én person. For sin kone "Blondina". I det daglige sprog blev hun kaldt "Blondje". Som lille dreng gik han, fastgjort til kurven på sin fars ryg, med for at sælge fisk i Wenduine og De Haan. Først gik faderen langs stranden. Da han nåede De Haan, opdagede han, at han havde mistet sit barn undervejs.

Andries fandt deres lille hus på egen hånd! Derfor blev han kaldt et stærkt barn. Deraf navnet "Sterke Dries.

En af redningsbådene fra Blankenberge Frivillige Redningstjeneste bærer også det samme navn.
