 Nelson The Seal
Unveiling of Nelson the one-eyed bull grey seal sculpture by Sir Robin Knox Johnston CBE, sculpted by Suzie Marsh

Nelson is blessed following unveiling by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston CBE

‘Nelson’

Looe’s seal, is back home

Nelson the one-eyed Grey bull Seal made Looe harbour in Cornwall his home for over 20 years but sadly died in 2003. He was much loved by locals, tourists and fishermen alike.

The life-size bronze sculpture of Nelson was unveiled by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston on the Pennyland Rocks in Looe harbour entrance at noon on Wednesday 28 May 2008.  Nelson was blessed and then honoured with a flypast from 849 Naval Air Squadron.

Nelson provides Looe with an imposing and handsome outdoor work of art which is becoming a powerful iconic symbol for Looe.  Nelson evokes thoughts of the sea, fishing, wildlife and the environment as well as stimulating tourism in the area – and brings a smile to one’s face.

Generous support in kind from the Duchy of Cornwall, Looe Harbour Commission and Suzie Marsh, the internationally Nelson the Seal - Sculptor with clay masterknown local animal sculptor, who will sculpt Nelson for gratis are helping to bring the project to fruition.  We also have grants from Caradon District Council and Looe Town Council together with various donations including one from HRH The Prince of Wales Duke of Cornwall.
