On Tuesday June 7th, I visited the Captain Thomas Abbey Memorial. And not surprisingly it is pretty bad. From the road it looks just like the statue is turning black but being right there, it looks terrible. I found cracks in the seats, grass growing through the pavers, and inscriptions that were impossible to read. I think the main reason it is in sore shape is that no one actually sees this up close. To most people it just looks dirty but getting up close you see its even unsafe as the benches are about to fall apart.
Here are some pictures from my visit:
In this picture you can the front turning brown.
Here the inscription on a bench is nearly illegible.
A major crack in one of the benches looks like it will break off if someone sat down.
Back side of the statue also turning brown.
Here is where I found who put this statue up.
As you can see the statue is in desperate need of repair. My bundle deals with 4 documents relating to the renovation of the Captain Thomas Abbey Memorial.
