Jimmy Buffett Statue Debuts in Mobile | Birmingham News

A new bronze statue of Jimmy Buffett has arrived on Mobile’s waterfront, capturing him mid-stride with guitar raised and that iconic “One Love One Ocean” shirt — a living tribute to his joyful spirit. Sculpted by Ben Victor, who listened to Buffett’s post-disaster concert while working, it stands proudly beside the groundbreaking “Jimmy Buffett Son of a Son of a Sailor Experience” exhibit at the National Museum of the Gulf of Mexico. Spanning 600 square feet, the exhibit traces Buffett’s roots in Mobile through triumphs and struggles — all with that signature grin. Mayor and museum leaders hail it as the world’s largest Buffett collection, sparking citywide celebration with live music and concerts. It’s more than a monument — it’s a beacon for parrotheads everywhere, honoring the man who turned the Gulf into his stage.
