Buoy Mural - Ganges, Salt Spring Island, BC |
The Saltspringisland.org website explains the mural's history and significance:
"The famous Landmark Mural on a retired can buoy is a "must see" while in Ganges. The buoy used to mark a spot 420 km up the coast at a location known to the Coast Guard as Delta 10 near Skeena River. It now marks the entrance to Centennial Wharf in Ganges, BC. There are Orcas, salmon, cod, an octopus seals and other marine life adorning the buoy, as well as a Coast Guard cutter and kayaks. The mural depicts what would be seen on and below the water near Salt Spring Island.
The Landmark Mural was painted by Amarah K. Gabriel and Timothy Hume of The Art Angels."
