This sculpture is a celebration of the Manchester Ship Canal's legacy and the impact it has had on the Greater Manchester region. It is the creation of artist Unusual and was unveiled in 2010.
Giant blades of elephant grass nod to places across the world that ships would have departed Manchester for. Each steel base is engraved with illustrations of the landscapes and wildlife of far-flung reaches, as imagined by local schoolchildren.
