A small but interesting bronze sculpture, featuring three figures in a tin bath tub, all fully clothed, a Female and an older man, the young lad is in a sailor suit, his hand reaching down into the water for a fish below. There is no passing footfall in this lonely position between two docks, but nearby, the Techniquest gets 1000s of vistors every month.

"This is a bronze sculpture depicting three
figures in a bath, it refers to the sculptor’s
memories of bathing in a tin bath. It was
sculpted by Graham Ibbeson in 1993 and
is located between the Graving Docks." Text Source: (visit link)
