The towering wooden sculpture is missing part of its face and arm, as well as a spear. The damage is believed to have been caused by wild weather and a windstorm.

這座高聳的木雕失去部分臉部和手臂，以及1支長矛。據信，損壞是由惡劣天氣和風暴造成的。

The 19-meter sculpture depicts a Wabanaki fisherman and was completed in 1969 by artist Bernard Langlais, a student and teacher at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Chamber of Commerce said.

當地商會稱，這座高19公尺的雕像描繪1名瓦巴納基族漁民，由藝術家伯納德‧朗萊斯於1969年完成，他是斯科希根繪畫與雕塑學院的學生兼教師。

The face was damaged months ago and a Feb. 28-29 windstorm knocked off part of the sculpture’s arm and the spear it held.

幾個月前，雕像的臉部就已受損，2月28日至29日的1場暴風雨，刮掉雕像手臂的一部分及它所持的長矛。

The sculpture was last restored a decade ago. The chamber is now trying to figure out how to fund another restoration, Luke York, who chairs the board of directors of the Skowhegan Regional Chamber of Commerce said.

這座雕像最後一次修復是在10年前。斯科希根地區商會董事會主席盧克‧約克表示，商會目前正試著想出如何為另一次修復提供資金。
