Poseidon

The Steamship Terminal pictured yesterday is decorated on its corners and entrance by sculpted heads of the Greek God of the Sea, Poseidon, a very appropriate mythological reference. The heads were carved by George Gibson and there is an interesting article by Ross Crockford on them and the terminal building you can read by clicking HERE. Poseidon is also the god responsible for earthquakes so let's hope he continues to be pleased by his prominent location on the Victoria's Inner Harbour.
