The Spirit of the Sea statue is located at the mouth of the Mersey River, Devonport. It was erected in 2009 and caused much controversy with it’s instillation. Many people complained about the pose and the high cost the government paid for the statue $250,000 (at the time it was the State’s most expensive public artwork), whilst others believed a Neptune figure had no cultural significance to Devonport. The statue was intended to be mounted on a sandstone rock, but due to the mounting anger and fear the statue would be damaged, the statue was mounted on a huge ugly concrete plinth. This added to the woes, as it made the statue look smaller.
