A professional gyro compass was used as a reference and the artwork was accurately positioned to show true compass directions at the site. The attractive design has drawn attention by the Portland media. That marine artwork was completed in 1993 by Wyland, the West Coast artist famous for his large marine life murals painted at locations throughout the world. The mural here in Portland compliments the theme of the harbor park quite well. Much work remains to be done to complete this project.
