The stunning mosaics, are set into the terrazzo flooring walkway, between the International arrivals Terminal 'E' central car park, and terminal 'A'. The Sea creature sculpture is called Atlantic Journey, designed by Jane Goldman, was laid by DePali Mosaic in 1999.

The walkways are all public access areas, and are open 24/7.

"In Atlantic Journeys, the ocean and the creatures that one might find there as one progresses to deeper and deeper water are depicted in 35,000 square feet of terrazzo flooring inlaid in the walkway that connects Terminals A and E. Some of the creatures that are represented are a lobster, a naked sea butterfly, a red sea star, a skate, and a mother whale and her calf. All are seen as though they were at their proper depth. Atlantic Journeys was designed by Jane Goldman, and installed by the terrazzo company DePaoli Mosaic in 1999." Text Source: (visit link)

"The mosaic theme is an aquatic journey through New England waters, from beach to open sea. the installation features ninety species of indigenous sea life, with each section complementing the others in a unified and integral way.
Atlantic Journey won the Honor Award, National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association, 1999; and the Golden Trowel Award, New England Region, International Masonry Institute, 1999." Adapted from: (visit link)
