Statue of John Deighton, Bronze statue in Gastown, Vancouver, Canada.
The bronze figure stands on a stone pedestal at the intersection of Carrall and Water Streets in Vancouver's historic district.
Sculptor Vern Simpson created this monument in 1970 to honor John Deighton, who established the Globe Saloon in 1867 at this location.
The statue represented John Deighton, known as Gassy Jack, whose presence influenced the early development of the Vancouver settlement and its social gatherings.
The monument remained at this location until February 2022, when it was removed during the Women's Memorial March in downtown Vancouver.
Local records indicate that Deighton married Quahail-ya, a 12-year-old Squamish girl, leading to contemporary discussions about historical representations in public spaces.
