Totma's central square is Torgovaya Ploschad (Trade Square) and to the south of this is Skver Morekhodov (Sea Explorer Gardens), which features a monument in the form of a ship and anchors which celebrates Totma's links with exploration.  Merchants from Totma had for centuries been taking advantage from the city's river links and so naturally also decided to fund expeditions further afield to America.   The monument was unveiled in 2005
