Liverpool-D3- 5 of 5 Back at the Ship

Superlambanana -The combination of banana and lamb is featured in the Superlambanana, a public art sculpture. This iconic Liverpool sculpture is a 17-foot-tall hybrid of a lamb and a banana, created by Japanese artist Taro Chiezo. It's a fusion of a lamb and a banana, designed to represent the city's history as a major port for both commodities, Lamb from Lancashire and bananas. The sculpture also serves as a commentary on the potential dangers of genetic modification. The Superlambanana was created around the time of growing concerns about genetically modified food, and its unique form serves as a visual representation of the potential for unexpected and even absurd combinations resulting from genetic manipulation. In 2008, as part of Liverpool's year-long position as the European Capital of Culture, 125 miniature replicas were created and located throughout the Liverpool and Merseyside regions.

Back at the Ship, we had a beautiful and delicious French dinner and then we were treated to a great, intense Tango show called "Pasion - One Night in Buenos Aires."Read more
