This beautiful sculpture is tactile, as well as visual. You can’t help but touch the surface. It shows the rescue of the crew of the Ispolen by the Henry Ramey UpcherLifeboat crew in 1897. The ship was lost but the men were saved. The verse surrounding the sculpture is taken from “The Wreck of the Hesperus” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Detail from the plaque shows the quality of this cold-cast resin sculpture.
If you would like a short diversion from the Art Trail, just round the corner from the sculpture, at the top of the slope, is the Fisherman’s Heritage Centre. The centre incorporates the original lifeboat house of The Henry Ramey Upcher, which was a private lifeboat. You can also walk through to the Peter Coke Shell Gallery.

Please contact Colin using the details below to request a copy of his C.V
Colin trained under his father as a signwriter and later studied at Hammersmith College School of Arts.
Colin worked in the United States for 16 years. His clients included Disney, the U.S. Postal Service, the University of South Florida, the U.S. Marine Corps alongside many sports clubs, television and radio stations.
Whilst working in the U.S. Colin was approached by a Florida transit authority. He was asked to find a way of encouraging young people to take the bus. Using a newly invented perforated vinyl covering for the windows, Colin came up with the concept of using buses as advertising canvases. A technique that gained global momentum and can be seen on buses around the world today.
He has been involved in painting murals and signwriting both in the States and England. Many of his signs can be seen in the towns of North Norfolk; together with his now famous murals on the Sheringham seafront. Much of his recent work has been due to his good working relationship with the members of Sheringham plus.
Colin will be running workshops throughout the year. He can also be found at many of our listed events.
