Ending months of suspense, the winning design for the New Bedford Fishermen’s Monument was revealed Friday night at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
Joseph Ingoldsby’s design of a granite fishing vessel was chosen from six finalists by the Fishermen’s Tribute Fund committee. The completed design will grace the northeast corner of Fort Taber by the harbor entrance.
"I think it’s important that New Bedford have a monument that’s going to stand the test of time," the Marshfield artist said at the fundraising event, billed as The Big Reveal.
