Description: | motto, watching these fleeting hours soon past, remember that which comes at last
This sundial was made by John Wigham Richardson and hung on the wall of a storehouse at his Neptune Shipyard. In 1902 the storehouse was pulled down, but the sundial was preserved. In 1995 it was bought by the Friends of Trinity Maritime Centre, who also restored it. Now we can see it almost as it was when Richardson made it in 1881. A photograph of the storehouse with the sundial can also be seen on this website.
