This special commission from Cowes Town Council required us to design a permanent installation on Cowes' seafront, celebrating the Isle of Wight's maritime heritage for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
The project demanded both artistic excellence and historical accuracy. The result is a permanent tribute that informs visitors about the area's fascinating history, blending artistic craftsmanship with historical storytelling.

As a Council we decided to requisition a Horizon Plaque to inform visitors of some highlights of local history. This was undertaken by Tom who took the initiative, researching the subject enthusiastically.
