Judy Boyt’s sculpture The Watch keeper at Britannia Royal Naval College BRNC Dartmouth looking over the river Dart
The statue is based on an existing design from Peter Hicks Ltd of Devizes. It is a classic representation of a World War 2 bridge watchkeeper, and also recognises last year’s 70th anniversary of the Battle of Atlantic. The plinth, funded by the Britannia Association, is engraved with a quote taken from a letter written by Sir Francis Drake to Sir Thomas Wolsingham in 1587. It reads: “There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory.’
