Dominating the downtown Manzanillo waterfront stands a 30 meter tall 25 meter wide monument weighing 70 ton called the Monumento al Pez Vela. It is a giant blue sailfish statue that refers to the most important sport in Manzanillo, that of fishing. Manzanillo is called the world capital of sailfish sport fishing and hosts many fishing tournaments year round. Serious sport fisherman converge on Manzanillo every year in hopes of catching one of these prized wall decorations. The statue itself was created by a premier Mexican sculpter. In fact he is so famous he just has one name: Sebastian. Sebastian is a member of the World Arts Council Forum based in Geneva, and has gained worldwide fame designing sculptures using complex geometric shapes.
