Beyond the Horizon, situated on Orwell Quay, is by York artist Dan Savage. The 12-metre long vitreous enamel on glass piece commemorates 400 years since the founding of Jamestown, Virginia.
Dan Savage brings together historical and contemporary references of the voyages and celebrates Suffolk-born Bartholomew Gosnold. Gosnold made the trip to Jamestown to help found America's first permanent English-speaking colony in 1607.
The work is designed to be viewed from both the footpath and from boats as they approach and leave Ipswich. It was commissioned by Persimmon Homes and Ipswich Borough Council.
