This local seafarer has a colourful history and is remembered partly for bringing American Sea Shanties to the UK in the 19th Century. Most well known shanty is Shenendoah. Bronze placed in 2008. In the background a cliff rescue is in progress. Young man broke his leg. April 08.

Many thanks for this photo Jim, it is really interesting. I hope one day that I can view it for myself.

Good to hear from you Kernanakim and glad you liked the pic. I was there yesterday having travelled up by the 'West Somerset Railway'. Hope you are able to visit the area yourself soon. Jim
