Large cruise ships dock at the A.C. Wathey Pier south and east of downtown Philipsburg on the Dutch side of the island. To get to the downtown area most visitors use the ferry service that shuttles back and forth across the Great Bay. This nicely done fountain is located between the dock and the ferry.
Five bronze dolphins are leaping out of the water forming a vertical column. The larger dolphins are at the bottom of the stack and the smaller dolphins at the top. Jets of water stream from the mouths of the dolphins and into in a irregular octagon shaped basin below.
