The sculpture is constructed from ship components – an inverted full scale aft section frame above the tip of the rudder forms the main arc. Within this arc the shipbuilding components of 'camber', 'sheer' and 'frame spacing' are referenced. Heavy and robustly designed brackets that were used to support heavy armour decks are integrated into the tracery that forms the base, along with gently curved frames and a section of double bottom plating. Supported on four pillars high above is an interpretation of the Revenge Class Dreadnought, 'Ramillies', launched from Beardmore Naval Construction Works in 1916. It is six metres long. The sculpture is lit up at night. Looking through the sculpture’s legs from Dumbarton Road in the direction of the yard exactly marks the site of the gantry where the 'Ramillies' was built.
