Welcome to Larne

The Harbour roundabout is the first sight of NI seen by passengers arriving off the ferries from Cairnryan, Troon and Fleetwood. “The Stern”, by Paul Hogarth, greets them. The Council’s website describes it thus: “Visitors arriving in Larne by sea through the Port of Larne are now welcomed by a new feature in the landscape. This “Steel Stern” sculpture has been placed on the Harbour Roundabout in recognition of the important links between the development of the port and the town of Larne. It represents the stern of a ship and provides a memorable feature that is unique to Larne and welcomes everyone on their arrival in Northern Ireland. “
