This sculpture is located in Russell Street, Central Gardens. It is Middlesbrough’s largest and most controversial public sculpture. You maybe can't tell by looking at it but it pays tribute to the town’s most famous citizen, Captain James Cook, the area’s proud iron and steel foundry skills and the cultural changes that are now occurring within the Teesside area.
Unique Suggestions: Try and catch it when the vandals haven't been out with their spray cans. It does look better then!
Fun Alternatives: Just a little bit further along is the statue of justice outside the law courts. This is much more interesting.
