Artist
Rachael & Phillippa Corcutt
Celebrating voyage and discovery, this design is made to look like a seafarer’s map, complete with compass, anchor and spyglass. Inspired by the journey of the Tall Ships from Aberdeen, this design highlights the route and destinations taken by these famous ships. Sailing from Le Harve and Dunkirk to arriving in the vibrant city of Aberdeen, to making the journey across the North Sea to Norway and Denmark. This sculpture is part of The Tall Ships Short Story Trail – a collection of 12 specially-commissioned BookBench works, as part of the artistic celebration of the Tall Ships Races Aberdeen 2025.

The Tall Ships return to Aberdeen in July 2025, their first visit in 28 years. Host Port Partners: Aberdeen City Council, Port of Aberdeen and Aberdeen Inspired are delighted to partner with Clan Cancer Care and hope that this exciting trail will help people to discover more of our great city. This sculpture funded by UK Government. Like the Tall Ships, the benches are free to be enjoyed by all. Please take a seat and perhaps pause to reflect on Aberdeen’s remarkable relationship with the North Sea.
