Anchored firmly on Spanish Banks, the Anchor Sculpture evokes a sense of permanence. It’s more than just a piece of art. It’s a symbolic marker, a testament to Vancouver’s rich maritime history. The Anchor Sculpture reminds us of the moment Spanish explorer Don Jose Maria Narváez first dropped anchor in this very harbor in 1791. He became the first European to enter these waters. Artist Christel Fuoss-Moore perfectly captured the essence of the anchor’s symbolism. She noted its representation of safety and solid footing, elements intrinsically linked to Vancouver’s identity as a port city, past, present, and future. Created in 1986 for the City Shapes Sculpture Symposium, the Anchor Sculpture also serves as a commemoration of Vancouver’s centennial. It stands as a concrete representation of the city’s enduring connection to the sea.
