The Swordfish Harpooner
Keep your memories alive
The iconic Swordfish Harpooner enjoys a memorable Menemsha Sunset on Martha’s Vineyard. The sculpture was created and built by Jay Lagemann in 1994 for the Chilmark Tricentennial to honor the fishermen and women of Menemsha.
Two years later the Town of Chilmark voted to keep the sculpture.

The idea of the Harpooner standing on the tail of the Swordfish came to Jay in a dream the night after talking the Greg and Jonathan Mayhew about how the long lining method for catching swordfish had killed the harpooning of swordfish.
It is an interesting story and I’m working on writing it up and will soon post it.
