Neptune is depicted in silhouette form with his iconic trident on both sides of a dockside shelter.
Neptune was the Roman god of the sea (similar to the Greek Poseiden.)
We know that this must be Neptune and not Poseiden because unlike Poseiden, Neptune also ruled over fresh water...like Lake Michigan.
By the way...Neptune also served as the god of horses.
