The Endeavour was put up in port glasgow in memory. Of the ships that were built on the river Clyde. Beautiful to see at night when it's all lit up on the main road that goes through port glasgow. It's visited by lots of people who pass through during the day and night.

This sculpture is a collaboration between Danish artist Nina Saunders secondary school pupils from Port Glasgow. It depicts a giant hand holding up a ship with an apple sitting as a passenger on the ship. The apple refers to the time when Port Glasgow was an apple growing area before shipbuilding. While the ship is a model of the PS Comet of Port Glasgow. I have to admit that I found the sculpture quite sentimental for the way it harkens to a past that isn't coming back, but also sentimental in a good way for the part Port Glasgow played in the shipbuilding heritage of Scotland too.
