Stone barge @ Vizcaya
The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami, built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, is located right on the coast in Miami, and has a ‘stone barge’ placed in the water which acts as a breakwater and protection for the mansion. This stone barge is a work of art in itself, with a number of mermaids, at the bow and stern of the barge, and on top of the barge. It was created by American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder between 1917 and 1919.
