I went for a walk late in the day, and while photographing the power plant from some distance away, a man came out from behind a gate next to me to talk about how beautiful the plant is. There has been a marine salvage yard hidden behind a fence for at least 20 years. I always wondered what was in there. Turns out, the man who spoke to me was the owner, and is a really friendly guy and we talked about the history of the waterfront. He invited me inside, and this was the first thing I saw. It is a sculpture he bought down in Florida and he shipped it up here, where it sits in his yard. He called it "The Salvage Princess." I am glad he let me photograph it. He also invited me back to take more photographs at another time. What's better than that!
So it seems the Princess lives with Flipper.
