    William deGarthe - Fisherman's monument

    September 2, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I don't know much about this guy so I google him. He's a Finnish born artist who spent most of his life in Peggy's Cove.
    This is one of his famous sculptures, located on the property he used to call home. It is a sculpture of thirty-two fishermen and their wives and children protected by the wings of St. Elmo. It also features Peggy, a shipwreck survivor the village is named after.
    There is an art gallery next door with more of his work bit it wasn't open.
