Sälen Isak (1931-1955) Vid Smyge hittade två skolepågar 1931 en sälkut. Pågarna sålde kuten till Trelleborgs Stad for 50 kr.- Sälhonan placerades i Stadsparksdammen där hon levde i 24 år.
En Valborgsmässoafton fick hon sit namn av de två trelleborgsyndlingarna Eric Mattsson och Nils Norglin som i ungdomlig yra vid dammen satte up en skylt med texten "Sälen heter Isak".
Polisman Fredrik Waldemar Nielsson som var en stor djurvän tog sig an Isak och kom varje dag vid samma tid med et paket sill under armen. På avstånd kunde Isak se Fredrik Waldemar komma och då lät hon som ett gråtande barn.
Polis Nielsson svingade sig elegant över nätstaketet och kelade en stund med sälen som fick sin efterlängtade sill.
Därefter tog Fredrik Waldemar samma väg ur hegnet och gråtvalsen upprepades. Fredriks omtanke om Isak gjorde att hon kunde leva i dammen i 24 år.
Efter hennes död inköpte staden en ny sälkut, Isabella. Hon var mer normal och dog efter efter ett halvår.
Detta konstverk tillkom 2020 i samarbete mellan Kockske Stiftelsen, Trelleborgs kommun, konstnären Helene Rönnberg, VA-gruppen, JOCÅ-Teknik, Käglinge Cementgjuteri samt Föreningen Gamla Trelleborg.

The Seal Isak (1931-1955)
At Smyge, two schoolgirls found a seal pup in 1931. The girls sold the seal pup to the City of Trelleborg for SEK 50. - The seal was placed in the Stadsparks pond where she lived for 24 years.
One night, she got her name from the two Trelleborg boys Eric Mattsson and Nils Norglin, who put up a sign with the text "The Seal is named Isak".
Policeman Fredrik Waldemar Nielsson, who was a great animal lover, took on Isak and came every day at the same time with a package of herring under his arm. In the distance, Isak could see Fredrik Waldemar coming and then she sounded like a crying child.
Polis Nielsson swung elegantly over the net fence and cuddled for a while with the seal that got its long-awaited herring.
Fredrik's concern for Isak meant that she could live in the pond for 24 years.
After her death, the city bought a new seal pup, Isabella. She was more normal and died after six months.
