Ghost Ship, Outdoor sculpture on Eastbank Esplanade in Portland, US.
The Ghost Ship sculpture combines copper, stainless steel, and art glass to create a luminous structure measuring 2.4 meters in height along the riverside.
The sculpture was created in 2001 by artists James Harrison and Rigga through funding from the Portland Development Commission's Percent for Art program.
The sculpture represents Portland's maritime heritage and commemorates vessels that encountered difficulties while navigating through the Columbia River bar.
Located at 5 Southeast Madison Avenue in Portland, the sculpture features internal lighting that illuminates the structure during evening hours.
The hexagonal sculpture belongs to a series of four art installations along the esplanade, including Echo Gate, Stack Stalk, and Alluvial Wall.
