Talk:Statue of Christopher Columbus (Waterbury, Connecticut)

Wrong statue depicted
The metal statue with one hand raised, behind which the Waterbury clock tower can be seen, is not the same statue that was decapitated in July 2020. The decapitated statue is stone, does not have an arm raised, and stands in front of City Hall; in order to see the clock tower from the decapitated statue, it would be necessary to stand somewhere between the side and back of the statue, and it would probably need to be winter as I believe foliage currently blocks any view of the clock tower from the decapitated statue. —2601:19A:4300:4370:D82C:1689:EF2C:CE7F (talk) 06:28, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, it was, though the map still indicates the location of the bronze statue, erected (according to its plinth) in 1957, at the corner of Grand Street and Meadow Street, which has not been removed or vandalized as of this writing. I'm afraid I don't know how to change the map, or what the coordinates of the decapitated statue are. I do have a photo I took this morning of the headless statue, erected (according to its plinth) in 1984, directly in front of the City Hall building, which I am going to try to upload and add to the article. It might be helpful to mention in the article that there are in fact two statues of Columbus on the same street, barely a block apart, but I don't know if there is a "secondary source" available that makes that distinction. —2601:19A:4300:6E00:0:0:0:EB13 (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
