E evo ga ovaj spomenik palim borcima tj. obalskim radnicima koji su izgrađivali ovo 36. znaš... A inače ovde je bilo to pristaište, dolazili brodovi, grožđe, jabuke.. znaš šta mi dođemo da pomažemo znaš i onda nam oni daju gajbu i onda ovo moje društvo zadovoljno. Ja se sećam ja kad sam plivao tu, pa dereglija puna lubenica, ja plivam, plivam pa samo izvučem par komada popada u dole, a ne tone, ja samo odguramo do društva i samo jedemo. Onda ovce, koze sve što se klalo u ono vreme sve je išlo Karađorđevom ulicom, tamo je bila teretna stanica i do klanice su išli sve peške i onda oni idu sa strane sa bičevima i čuvaju i idu tako, jer nije bio prevoz u ono vreme znaš... to je bilo 56. 57. 58. Ja znam jedan slučaj meni je naletela koza ja se samo zagradio i otovorio vrata ona uđe , a moj drug bio kočijaš i to mi on kazao da uradim i onda on ode tamo i proda. Mesec dana smo išli u bioskop, jel mi veruješ? To je tako bilo... To je malo ova strana , ali dobro deca. E evo ga ovaj ... ovo je po Jovi Marinoviću čuvenom, on je bio tako građen, rvač. Jova Marinović eto to je po njegovom telu izvajano. Ja sam dobio prvu nagradu za fotografiju, stao sam pored njega i dublirao go , to je u ono vreme JRB organizovao izložbu ovde.

Here is the monument to the fallen fighters, I mean to the pier workers who built this in 1936... And there used to be a pier here, ships would come carrying grapes and apples... We would then come and help them, you know, and they would give us a case of fruit and we would all be happy. I can remember swimming to the barge with watermellons; I just pulled out a few and they all fell out without sinking, and I just pushed them to my friends and we enjoyed eating everything. And also the sheep, the goats, they all went down Karadjordjeva Street from the freight station to the slaughterhouse. They all had to walk, guided by boys with whips on the side, because there was no transport at the time, you know... it was in 1956, ’57, ’58. I remember one time, a goat came into my yard, I just led it to my door and it came in. My friend was a coachman and he told me to do it. Later he went down there and sold it. We could go to the cinema for a whole month, can you believe that? That’s how it was... Now look at this one... this was made after the famous wrestler Jova Martinovic, that’s how he was built. I won the first prize in the photo competition, I stood beside him and imitated his posture. At that time, the Yugoslav River Shipping organized the exhibition here.
