287 Of 365: Shipbuilders Of Port Glasgow
It’s a town with a rich history of shipbuilding going back centuries – and now Port Glasgow’s long-running connections with the industry have been commemorated in a striking new sculpture.
The Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow sculpture, consisting of two colossal stainless steel figures, has taken pride of place in the town’s Coronation Park.
The 33-foot-tall figures, which have a combined weight of 14 tonnes, were designed by artist John McKenna and pay tribute to those who worked in the shipyards of Port Glasgow and Inverclyde, and made the area world famous for shipbuilding.
The artwork is thought to be the largest sculptural figure of a shipbuilder in the UK and one of the biggest of its kind in Western Europe.
