Key West’s Bronze Conch Blowing Statue

Hmm, Conch Blowing? Yes, that’s what it’s called. The type of seashell featured is a Conch Shell pulled from the ocean with the meat removed and blown on one end creating a horn-like sound.

Seen here is one Key West’s newest bronze statues. It shows long time resident Albert Key blowing his seashell and waving to the tourist as they pass by on Key West’s iconic Conch Trains.

You can find this ‘Conch Blowing’ statue beside Key West’s #1 tourist attraction ‘Southernmost Buoy’ at the corner of South Street and Whitehead  Street.
