The statue is named ' Embracing The Sea', was designed and crafted by sculptor,
Jon Buck. It is some 10 foot high, weighs 3 tonnes and is cast in bronze. It
depicts the figure of a man in a boat with his arms encircling a fish, lifting
it from the sea. The statue was commissioned by Dover District Council' Charity
Committee and was funded
by a bequest from a former Deal solicitor Frank Kennett. It was placed outside
the entrance to Deal Pier in 1998.
