The sea lion sculpture by Al Sybrian lies on its side after being knocked from its base during recent storms along Bridgeway in Sausalito, Calif. on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023. Sausalito’s sea lion statue along Bridgeway will be reinstalled in the spring following a tumble into the sea during the latest round of powerful Pacific storms.
The statue is located near 400 Bridgeway, between Princess and Richardson streets. The current iteration in bronze was cast in 1966 and designed by sculptor Al Sybrian about a decade prior. City Councilmember Janelle Kellman said the statue was “in good hands” and in the care of the Public Works Department.
McGowan said city officials reviewed the base last week and found that the bronze pins had broken out of the concrete support, which was itself cracked and broken. The Sausalito Foundation spearheaded the recasting of the piece in bronze in 1966 at Foundry 3 in San Francisco. A plaque located nearby commemorates its installation.
