Nelson the One-eyed Seal, Looe Harbour
From a plaque nearby:
“A distinctive ‘one-eyed’ scarred bull Grey Seal (Halichoerus Grypus) who was a familiar sight in the harbours of South Cornwall for over 25 years. Eventually he settled on the rocks of Looe Island as his home and then made Looe Harbour his dining room where he was fed and his company enjoyed by local fishermen, townsfolk and countless visitors.”
His statue was unveiled on 28 May 2008.
RNLI Looe Lifeboat Station
The first lifeboat station at Looe was erected in 1866. The RNLI withdrew services from Looe in 1930 on the grounds that the lifeboats of Fowey and Plymouth could cover the area. In 1991, the RNLI stationed a lifeboat at Looe for the summer season and three years later the Spirit of the ROAC was housed in a temporary lifeboat house, provided by the East Looe Town Trust. A new lifeboat station was built on the old Albatross warehouse site on the quay in 2002.
