Statue of Rebecca?
In the center of the Old Harbor traffic circle, you will find one of Block Island’s most recognizable landmarks: the Statue of Rebecca. When you exit the ferry onto Water Street, this young woman will greet you as you explore the interior of the Island from Spring and High Streets. Often photographed and regularly decorated for various celebrations, Rebecca is a staple of New Shoreham.
But who is she? Why erect a statue of her in such a prominent spot on the Island? And is she really who she seems?
