The Galveston Beach Trio is the embodiment of “island time” and is a dynamic welcome to the brand new Royal Carribean Cruise Terminal in Galveston, TX. Strategically crafted of hand-cast bronze and mirror-polished stainless steel, these coastal creatures are as dynamic as their jazzy tunes.
Feathers, the Pelican’s warm bronze bill contrasts with its mirror-polished body. Similarly, the bronze structure of the sea turtle pops beneath its polished outer shell. The crab’s claws have been polished to a mirror finish by her excellent piano skills.
