A large crowd gathered around the Capt. James Cook statue at Victoria’s Inner Harbour on Thursday night and pulled it down from its base, leaving behind a portion of a leg. The statue was tossed into the harbour.

The statue came down about 8:30 p.m.

Members of the crowd smeared the pedestal with red hand prints.

In the statue’s place, they erected a wooden red dress, a symbol representing murdered and missing Indigenous women. They left behind a stack of the wooden red dresses.

Later in the night bystanders set up the remaining dresses around the pedestal.
