Statue of John Fane Charles Hamilton, Bronze statue in Hamilton City, New Zealand
The life-size bronze statue depicts Captain John Fane Charles Hamilton standing in a commanding naval officer position on Victoria Street.
Created by artist Margriet Windhausen in 2013, the statue was presented as a gift from the Gallagher Group during their 75th anniversary celebration.
The removal of this monument in June 2020 led to broader discussions about the representation of colonial figures in New Zealand's public spaces.
The former location of the statue near the central business district served as a meeting point for guided tours and historical walks.
The statue faced multiple instances of paint defacement before its permanent removal, reflecting changing perspectives on colonial symbolism in New Zealand.
