THE SISTERS by Andrew Baldwin

Dec 1, 2020

Installed in November 2020, ‘The Sisters’ sculpture, commissioned by Woodbridge Boat Yard and made by Andrew Baldwin, celebrates Molly and Ethel Everson who, along with their brothers Cyril and Bert, managed the yard inherited from their father until 1969. 

Cyril and Bert built boats and handled the riverwork, so ‘living’ memorials to them can be seen in the many Everson boats that still sail these waters. The sisters managed the chandlery, sail store and office, where the rowing club now stands. This sculpture celebrates their contribution.

These two tough, resilient women now watch over the Deben once again and their story is remembered.

The sculpture is located on the riverfront, adjacent to the Phoenix Works Shed and Deben Rowing Club.
