Two shaped columns of Kilkenny Blue limestone with incised lines and text, with faces honed and sides sanded, placed 20 cm apart. The sculpture is based on the form of the iconic Aberdeen fast sailing ship ‘Thermopylae’. Built by Walter Hood and Co., she launched in 1868 and is considered to be the fastest sailing ship ever constructed. The shape and incised lines also reference the Pictish standing stones of Aberdeenshire.
