For a long while, Star of India has been without her figurehead. That’s because the wooden figurehead, depicting Greek Muse Euterpe, has been undergoing badly needed restoration.
But now the work is completed! Euterpe will once again take her accustomed place on the bow of her historic ship!
There will be a public unveiling of the restored figurehead this coming Sunday, November 13. The big event coincides with Star of India’s 159th birthday. Check out the next photograph for details.
Yesterday I took a sneak peek of the completed project down in the hold of Star of India where the restoration work took place.
Euterpe is now flawless, bright, and absolutely beautiful!
But you’ll have to go see this Sunday for yourself!
