David W Moore, Sculptor

Originally a fountainhead in Central Plaza and 22nd Street and Postoffice, David W. Moore's 1975 bronze of two dolphins was moved to its present location on the Seawall in 1994. Popular as a photo site, it was a gift to the citizens of Galveston from the Galveston Foundation and John W. Harris.

The Dolphins

The Dolphins is another offering from Native Texan sculptor David Moore. It was originally installed downtown in 1975, in the center of the pedestrian mall corridor on Postoffice Street that once ran in between 21st and 24th Streets. Standing at six feet tall, the sculpture is solid bronze, and was created in conjunction with the Al Shakis Art Foundry in Houston. The Dolphins were donated to the city and citizens of Galveston by the collective efforts of a private donor and the Galveston Foundation, Inc. When the Postoffice Street corridor was re-opened to vehicular traffic, Galveston Commission for the Arts made the necessary efforts, including obtaining the permissions and funds, to relocate the statue to its current location at Fort Crockett Seawall Park on Seawall Boulevard at 45th Street.
