In March 2018, local artists John McNaughton and Joan DeJong collaborated to create a sculpture commemorating the historic 1937 Ohio River flood. Located near the Levee Authority office at the curve of South Fulton Avenue and Riverside Drive in Evansville, Indiana, this sculpture stands as a reminder of the event that left a lasting impact on the community.
The artwork symbolizes the high-water mark of the flood, evoking the immense scale and power of nature. Evansville Sheet Metal Works (ESMW) played a key role in fabricating this meaningful piece, working closely with the artists to ensure the precision and durability needed for this public installation. Through ESMW's expertise in custom metalwork, the sculpture stands as a resilient tribute to both the past and the strength of the community.
