Famous Wildwood Boardwalk Statue Being Removed
Over the weekend we uploaded an article online talking about the iconic Morey’s Piers statue that was damaged by the weather. This is an update to that article since many rumors were going around.
In that article, which you can read by clicking HERE, we noted seeing debris rolling down the boardwalk. It was this debris that led us to find that statue in a damaged state.
For those who can’t recall this statue, it’s a giant beach ball on a column with Morey’s mascot “Sunny” waving down to visitors.
Sunny’s statue is located at Morey’s Mariner’s Pier right at the front of the pier above “La Bakerie.”
This statue was introduced on the pier in the mid-1990s as a replacement for another statue that sat just behind it. That statue featured one of Morey’s older mascots, Percy the Pelican. (You can see a photo of that statue in the video at the bottom of the article)
When the Sunny statue was first built in the 1990s, it was a bit different. The original statue featured a tan circle, or globe, with a Mariner holding on to a ship’s wheel. On the globe was the Morey’s Piers logo. (See Photo).
