Whale Tail Fountain

Information

When New London was redesigning the Parade Plaza, they thought to enliven the space with a piece of public art. New London is, after all, the Whaling City so the idea to have a fountain in the shape of a whale diving into the plaza pavent was both amusing and represented an important element from our history. Working with the largest bronze foundry in the world, Matthews Bronze, (which is located near Pittsburgh), the City was introduced sculptor Alan Cottrill. Alan made the whale tail in his Zanesville, Ohio studio.
