Inspiration:
This mural was created with input from the community to highlight years of commercial fishing. The unique application on the stair risers is overlooking the West Slip, where many fishing boats docked in the evening and resumed long days of netting silvery chubs early each morning. The fish shanties and commercial fishing smoke houses surrounding the West Slip, along with Fisherman’s Bridge above Sauk Creek, round out this historic site and pay homage to the early port fishing industry.
