LIVERPOOL PIERHEAD #1

Bronze Statue of Emigrants at the Pier Head, Liverpool. This statue was erected August 2001 in recognition of the epic journey to Salt Lake Valley in Utah by nearly 100.000 people from all over Europe, and which began here at the Pier Head. The bronze statue, weighing a ton, was unveiled at the Museum of Liverpool Life. The sculpture features a family group with a child stepping forward to symbolise the migration. The work was made by Mark DeGraffenried at a studio 4,000 miles away in Utah, and donated by the Mormon Church.
