Cavorting Sailors: the one still without a barrel by

“Cavorting Sailors” by Shaeron Averbuch, was made out of ferro-concrete, the strongest mix of concrete, in the hope the material would be difficult to damage. The statues were put on display in front of the mural beside Leith Public Library.

One sailor was rolling out a real whisky barrel. The barrel was ripped away, taking the sailor’s hands with it. The sailor’s hat and face were also damaged.
