This is one of the four dragon statues on the Dragons’ bridge (Zmajski most) in Ljubljana. There is a legend that Jason was the founder of Ljubljana, and he and his Argonauts killed a dragon.

"Jason was the heroic leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. The son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcos, Jason was married to the sorceress Medea. He appeared in the epic poem Argonautica and the tragedy Medea." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptures_in_the_Sch%C3%B6nbrunn_G...
According to a legend, Jason was the founder of Ljubljana. He and his Argonauts killed a dragon which is now the symbol of the city. It is also believed that when a virgin crosses the bridge, the dragons will wag their tails.

For more than a century, Argonaut II sailed the waters of the Pacific Northwest and served the remote native tribes and rural communities of British Columbia. Originally built as a corporate yacht for the Powell River Company in Vancouver, BC in 1922, the United Methodist Church purchased the boat in 1934 to serve as a Mission Boat until 1967. Originally named “Greta M,” the church rechristened the boat “Thomas Crosby IV” after a NW Missionary, and skippered by the famous Haida Chief Rev. Dr. Peter Kelly who was the first full-blooded Native American ordained in the United Church of Canada. Thomas Crosby IV operated as a fully-equipped hospital, servicing the remote lighthouses, canneries, logging camps, and isolated settlements, and carried more than 1000 patients a year. In 1967, the boat was renamed “Argonaut II” and has been a private yacht ever since, thankfully with many willing hands to continue its maintenance and upkeep.

From my collection
The purpose of the Argonaut expedition was to fly to King Pelias of the Golden Fleece from Colchis (AIA), which was in the depths of the Black Sea.
The Golden Fleece was the ram, which went Frixos to escape from his father, the king of Orchomenos Boeotia, and stepmother, who were ready to sacrifice the. Frixos finally arrived at the court of King Aetes, who received him with honors and gave him the daughter of a woman. When Frixos sacrificed the ram to Zeus, gave his skin to Aetes, who hung an oak tree in the grove of Mars and put a dragon to tribes, day and night.
The cause of the Argonaut expedition was as follows: King Pelias of Thessaly in Lokridas had received prophecies that killed by a descendant of Aeolus and stored by a man who will be wearing a sandal. When Pelias saw Jason in front of him, wearing a sandal just in his right leg to him away from him, gave him a mandate to bring back the Golden Fleece.
The campaign took part all the Greek heroes, fifty in number, including Hercules. Among them were the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, Idas and Lynkeas, Orpheus, Peleus, the Meleager, Tydeus by the Amphiaraos, and Hunter Atalanta, the only woman.
The leader of the campaign was Jason when requested by Hercules, who had only to complete the feat of Erymanthoy boar, to take leadership, not consent.
The ship for the voyage was made by Argos, the son of Phrixus, from which it got its name, Argo. It was made from trees of Mount Pelion, under the guidance of the goddess Athena. Had fifty oars and stern Athena had put a piece of the sacred oak of talking Dodonon.
Pagases sailed from the port of Iolkou. When the ship arrived in Mysia, the Hylas, the companion of Herakles left, and went to bring water and Heracles was left behind to find him, so he took part in another campaign.
The Argonauts, after many adventures reached the mouth of the River Stage in Colchis.
There, the king Aeëtes promised to give the Golden Fleece, if Jason sow first of the remaining teeth of the dragon, which was not used by Cadmus in Thebes and zepsei two steers that were making fire from their nostrils and had steel legs .
Jason with the help of Medea, the daughter of Aetes, which had fallen in love, managed to get the golden skin. Along with Medea, took the way back, but fell into a big storm and found in Italy. Finally after many adventures, arrived back in Iolko.
The Argonauts of greek myth may have been looking for the Golden Fleece, but this Argonaut's thin shell glows like gold when lit from below.
Even though it resembles a Nautilus shell, this fragile creation doesn't host an individual mollusk, but rather a female octopus' fertilized eggs. It is a small miracle in itself that the paper-thin shell survives beyond the youngs' rearing period, but when it does, it makes it one of the ocean's most delicate treasures.

a personal favourite since children, now, this place has more to do with nebulous memories than with the real world.
The NACC ARGONAUT is a dedicated Cement Carrier that was built in 2003 (20 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Canada. Here, docked at Whiskey Island in the old Cuyahoga River Channel, just above the Willow Avenue lift bridge.

L’Argonaute (S636) est un sous-marin de classe Aréthuse de la Marine française, mis en service le 23 octobre 1958 et désarmé le 31 juillet 1982.
L'Argonaute a passé plus de 2.000 jours en mer et plus de 32.000 heures sous l'eau.
Après de longues discussions commençant en 1982, et en 1989, l'Argonaute a été transféré de Toulon via Gibraltar au Havre, puis à travers les sept écluses du canal de Saint-Denis. Une fois aux quais du canal de l'Ourcq, il a été levé hors de l'eau par des grues et transporté par remorque sur son site actuel.
L'Argonaute a été ouvert au public en 1991, et est exposé devant de la Cité des sciences et de l'industrie
