THE DISCOVERY TRAIL COMMEMORATIVE
SCULPTURE
"CAPTAIN CLARK & STURGEON" |
|
Bronze sculptures of Capt. William Clark and a 10-foot-long
sturgeon.
The idea for a sturgeon sculpture came directly from Clark’s journal: “I
proceeded on the Sandy Coast 4 miles, and marked my name on a Small pine,
the Day of the month & year, &c. and returned to the foot of the hill, from
which place I intended to Strike across to The Bay, I saw a Sturgeon which
had been thrown on Shore and left by the tide 10 feet in length, and Several
joints of the back bone of a whale which must have foundered on this part of
the Coast.”
Created by sculptor
Jim Demetro from Battle Ground,
Washington, now rests along the 8.2-mile Lewis and Clark
Discovery Trail between Ilwaco and Long Beach.
