http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breda

This little statue is hidden in a small square somewhere in the back of the Grote Markt.

The statue represents a turfschipper (peat shipper) by the name of Adriaan van Bergen. He helped to conquer Breda on 4 March 1590 by hiding 72 soldiers in his peat ship when entering Breda.
