Artist Statement:
The mural depicts the sailing ship Titania and its first visit to Steveston harbour in 1889, an important milestone in Richmond’s history as it marked the beginning of the region’s illustrious commercial fishing industry.


The sailing vessel, Titania, was a China tea clipper owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company.
