Description: The "Jesus Christ of the Fisherman" statue on South Padre Island, Texas, is a significant and symbolic landmark. Located at the southern end of the island within Isla Blanca Park, this statue holds cultural and spiritual importance. This memorial was generously donated by the De la Lastra Family to the Brownsville-Port Isabel Shrimp Producers Association. It stands as a tribute to the memory of Gustavo De la Lastra and Jose Edwardo De la Lastra. Around the base of the statue of Jesus, an inscription reads, "Father! Embrace the souls of these courageous fishermen who sailed through this passage and did not return."
