Girl in a Wetsuit Statue – Vancouver, Canada
When walking or biking along Stanley Park’s waterfront in Vancouver you will see the small statue of a woman diver; titled “Girl in a Wetsuit” by Elek Imredy), which sits on a rock that protrudes close to the edge of the water.
The design of the statue is based on an unofficial modern reinterpretation of a Copenhagen statue called The Little Mermaid, which sits similarly on a rock in the harbor of Denmark’s capital.
During the 2011 Stanley Cup, the woman diver statue was dressed with a Canucks shirt in representation of the popular soccer team. It goes without saying that people in Vancouver are die-hard fans of hockey and their team!
Hockey, not soccer.
yeah… my bubu there…
This statue simply screams “iconic.” But I guess with the jersey it’s more of a chant?
Just imagine if the mermaid dressed up in the green man’s suit! Now THAT would be an avid Canucks fan….
The jersey makes it look even more interesting! Now this could be like the Manneken Pis of Vancouver, which gets dressed on every special occasion.
Pssst….it’s hockey. We’re hockey fanatics in Vancouver.
Yeah, got that little bubu… Thanks!
Yeah , this really reminds me of the little mermaid , but the shirt – well really an idea of devoted fans to dress her in this shirt…
