Sculptor Ray Lonsdale's Sea Shanty work.

Plans have been unveiled for the installation of a dramatic sea shanty sculpture amidst a new pocket park and raingarden on the seafront overlooking Cork harbour.

Cork County Council has published the details in a Part 8 planning application for the 3.6m high statue at Five Foot Way carpark in the town. The statue has been gifted to the people of Cobh by Garry and Anne Wilson, the couple who bought and restored Belvelly Castle.
