Statue
The Captain Charles “Charlie” Barr monument promises to be a profound tribute to Gourock’s maritime legend. Set to grace the waterfront, the bronze figure atop a stone pedestal captures Barr’s seafaring spirit. Celebrating his indelible legacy, the statue will stand tall on the shores of The Clyde.
The beautiful statue will pay homage to the three-time America’s Cup victor and transatlantic record-holder. This monument will be a testament to Barr’s maritime prowess that cements his place in The Clyde’s storied maritime heritage.
