In 1999, in celebration of the return of fish to the River Lagan, the city of Belfast erected a sculpture titled The Salmon of Knowledge but locally called The Big Fish.
In 2006 I asked our tour guide if this sculpture was based on the Salmon of Knowledge and he indicated that he did not understand what I was talking about. Later I obtained the following quote from a local official: " The scales on the Big Fish or Salmon of Knowledge sculpture celebrate the return of fish to the River Lagan".
The Salmon story figures prominently in The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn, which recounts the early adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. According to the story, an ordinary salmon ate nine hazelnuts that fell into the Well of Wisdom (an Tobar Segais) from nine hazel trees that surrounded the well. By this act, the salmon gained all the world's knowledge. The first person to eat of its flesh would in turn gain this knowledge.
According to a number of printed tourist guides that I examined "the Big Fish also called the Bigfish is a printed ceramic mosaic sculpture by John Kindness. 10 metres long and constructed in 1999 it is located at Donegall Quay in Belfast, near the Lagan Lookout and Custom House."
There are also a number of seals nearby but I do not know is they are part of the original art installation.
The outer skin of the fish is a cladding of ceramic tiles decorated with texts and images relating to the history of Belfast. Material from Tudor times to present day newspaper headlines are included along with contributions from Belfast school children. The Big Fish also contains a time capsule storing information/images/poetry relating to the City.

Her first time fishing for lake trout in the Boundary Waters. She caught this beauty on 8 lb test line. It was a great battle to get this trout up to the surface alongside our canoe.

The Salmon of Knowledge is a ceramic tiled artwork created by John Kindness in 1999 to celebrate the return of Salmon to the River Lagan in Belfast. It's known locally as "The Big Fish".
The ceramic tiles depict various historical, mythological and artistic aspects of Belfast.
One tile shows some linen mill workers (image 3) and we have been able to confirm that the lady in the centre of the tile is my Wife Caroline's paternal grandmother Jean Ruddy.
The source image appears on page 25 of the book "Made in Belfast" by Vivienne Pollock and Trevor Parkhill (published by the National Museums of Northern Ireland) and is titled:
"A group of workers from Spence, Bryson & Co.'s Loopbridge Weaving Factory on Lismore Street off the Ormeau Road, pose for their photograph. This is one of a series of images of workers at this factory produced by A.R Hogg on 12th May 1937. (H10/60/7)."
We know that was Jean's workplace at that time and have many contemporary and later images of her.

The outer skin of the fish is a cladding of ceramic tiles decorated with texts and images relating to the history of Belfast. Material from Tudor times to present day newspaper headlines are included along with contributions from Belfast school children (including a soldier and an Ulster Fry). The Ulster Museum provided the primary source of historic images, while local schools/day centres located along the line of the River Farset were approached to provide drawings for the fish. Images were provided by Glenwood Primary School, St Comgalls and Everton Day Centres.
The Big Fish also contains a time capsule storing information/images/poetry on the City.
I'd say a big fish for a small bird, Except, this is not that unusual to see. Fierce little guys.

You're one brick short of a load now brother
You're one shot away from a bullseye
You are missing the mark on your spiritual walk
You started walking away now you're sinking
Into the deep, wake up from the sleep
See your one fry short of a happy meal
You are incomplete by your own deceit
You turned your back, now you're going swimming...
