Bremerton Street Art & Statues

We don't know anything about this statue. It is on the corner across from the Navy Yard and didn't have a label. We missed the monthly Art Walk because Alonda had sprained her ankle. We hope to do the walk and find out more about the art next year.

This is a giant fish (in case you couldn't tell). They put it up last year. Kitty-corner across from the fish is, of course, the ...

... giant fisherman.

This is a lion on a fountain. He isn't very fancy, but he has been here a LOT longer than the other statues and art works.

This lady is what everyone thinks about when they think "Pacific Northwest." She is ready for the stereotypical rain.

We don't know what this lady is doing, but she is dressed up for the Kitsap Pumas soccer team playing their first ever international match. Kitsap is the Premier Development League Northwest Division champion. They will play Port Vale from England. Port Vale is the development team for Manchester United (world famous soccer champions). Manchester United is playing the Seattle Sounder in Seattle.

We have been revisiting our tour of the clocks in Seattle. This clock is here in Bremerton and was restored within the last two years and is in front of the bank building that is now the Kitsap Historical Society Museum.

This "Lone Sailor" stands on the end of the outer pier of the yacht basin. You can see the Navy Yard in the background.

This is a memorial to the shipyard workers. The boardwalk area is designed to look like an aircraft carrier deck.

This is a statue of Esther Bielmeier. She worked as one of the rivet heaters during the Great War (you probably know it as World War I).

This is the photograph that inspired the statue!


Bremerton is always an eye-opener when you take the time to walk around. It is clean, neat and is constantly trying to improve itself.
