Details

The beautiful sea lion sculpture was created by resident Al Sybrian in the 1950's. According to "Our Sausalito.com," Al Sybrian was a respected local artist and craftsman and a regular of The No Name Bar and Smitty’s Bar. According to the website, "Sybrian lived in town, and like many locals liked to watch the sea lions by the rocks. In 1957, he talked some neighbors into putting up the money and he made the original concrete version of the sea lion. The process took three months." The statue was recast in bronze in the 1960s to help it survive the elements. The nearly 2,000-pound sculpture was knocked into the water after a powerful storm in 2023, but was restored and returned home to its perch on Sausalito's southern waterfront in 2024. Learn more about the rich history behind the iconic sculpture on Sausalito Historical Society's website.
