The Gansey Girl sculpture was inspired by sculptor Steve Carvill and depicts a young woman knitting a Gansey, the traditional jumper worn by a fisherman.
The sculpture is part of the Bridlington Maritime Trail and sits proudly on Bridlington's north pier.
The tradition of knitting Ganseys is prevalent in this area of the Yorkshire Coast as an area so rich with fishing and maritime history.
If you look closely at a Gansey, you will see symbolism in the patterns.
Villages had their own design, and fishing families created their own variations.
This is a must-visit spot on your Bridlington YC experience and plenty of space around to sit back and admire the views.
