The ship's figurehead

It was the rugby league World Cup final today and it's been a great tournament. But it also turned out to be a reasonably nice day weather wise. So after a few aborted attempts this week my wife convinced me to sky+ the game and watch it delayed and take a trip to Windermere for Luke's first foray into the lakes.
We had lunch at The ship on the lake edge, a nice pub I hadn't even realised existed before today, I'd just never walked round the glebe that far and always drove past without noticing.
This chap, who I assume may once have been attached to a boat, was looking down on people outside the loos.
