Artist Statement:
Steveston's Legacy, designed by Norm Williams, was conceived as a Steveston Legacy project by the Steveston High School Alumni Association many years ago. The artwork is made up of three figures that represent a typical 1930’s fishing industry scenario on the docks. It consists of an older fisher sitting on a bench mending a net and telling a story to a young male dockworker and a cannery worker on her break.
