Statue of Gromit on the bow of Bristol Ferry, Brigantia of Bristol on Bristol's Floating Harbour, near SS Great Britain.


A statue of Aardman Animations' character Gromit rides the bow of Brigantia of Bristol, one of Bristol's yellow and blue ferries that ply the waters of the floating harbour. Several people stand on the deck of the ferry which is passing the outdoor cafe beside Brunel's SS Great Britain. Nine or ten tables with umbrellas are visible above the dock. The building in the background houses the ticket booth and gift shop for the SS Great Britain. The statue is part of the "Gromit Unleashed" exhibition through which 80, 5-foot tall models of Gromit were placed around the city of Bristol. At the end of the exhibition, they were to be sold off for charity to benefit Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal in aid of Bristol Children's Hospital.
