Abstract
The Singing Ship is a 12-metre tall concrete and steel monument located in Emu Park, Shire of Livingstone, Queensland, Australia.[1][2]
The monument is notable for using wind to enable it to make a unique whistling sound, making it "sing".
Located at Churchill's Lookout on Constitution Hill, the monument commemorates James Cook's voyage through Keppel Bay in May 1770. It was officially unveiled by Minister for Shipping Ian Sinclair on 30 May 1970. (Wikipedia)
