Design
Bronze figures feature in the memorial and show the daily activities of naval life; the geometric forms, such as the anchor chain, depict elements of a ship. The torrents of water complement the dynamic forms of the work. (The memorials along ANZAC Parade were specifically exempted from water restrictions during the drought of 2005.)
The memorial is also known as Sailors and Ships - Interaction and Interdependence, and was designed and executed by Ante Dabro in collaboration with Lester Firth and Associates, and Robert Woodward.

Famous quotes containing the word design:

“Westerners inherit
A design for living
Deeper into matter—
Not without due patter
Of a great misgiving.”
