'The Saltash Ferryman' sculpture at the waterside represents all the ferrymen and women who have worked the ferries over the centuries. It celebrates 900 years of crossing the River Tamar. The sculpture was designed by John Forster and incorporates brass panels etched by ten Saltash artists, illustrating the story of the ferries over the centuries, together with memories of the last generation who recall using the ferry, before it was replaced by the road bridge in 1961.
