THE SHANTYMAN IS A CORTEN STEEL SCULPTURE
On the Five Foot Way in Cobh, a new figure stands watch over the vast expanse of Cork Harbour. He is a mariner, forged from steel, his presence both powerful and poignant. At 11 feet tall, the twice-life-size shantyman is a monumental presence, yet his posture is one of intimate performance. A thick beard frames a face caught mid-song, a squeeze box rests in his hands, and one booted foot is propped on a stool—the classic stance of a musician lost in his tune.
