A sculpture, at Gregg’s Quay, close to the Queen’s Bridge dating from 2001. The sculptor was Rachel Joynt. The official description is as follows: “This (8.5m long) ship plan is made of translucent blue cobbles surrounded by a cast iron frame. The cobbles have starfish embedded within to suggest sea and sky and are lit from underneath with fibre optic lighting. Inspired by the graving docks and the traffic of cargo ships that once docked alongside Gregg’s Quay, but primarily it can be seen as a window into the sea or a mirror of the sky”. Image shows the name of the casting foundry.
