PORT TOWNSEND — The vandalism of a new public sculpture in Port Townsend proved to be a blessing in disguise.
The Peninsula Daily News reported that the $20,000 sculpture is an abstract representation of a great blue heron with a 10-pound clock attached to its beak. A day after the sculpture was installed, someone taped a piece of paper over the clock face.
When a city official climbed up to take the paper down, he noticed the clock had been improperly attached. That left it in danger of falling off in a strong wind, potentially endangering anyone below.
The clock was re-attached — correctly — Monday.
