If you've been for a stroll along Swansea Bay recently then a list of names along the sea wall may have caught your attention.
Close to the Meridian Tower, names including Zeta, Ianthe and Chelhydra, are engraved into the stone wall that protects the nearby residents and walkway from the incoming tide.
It has been revealed that the names that feature on the wall are the names of ships that once sailed from Swansea.
They sailed around the Cape Horn, one of the most dangerous shipping routes in the world, to bring copper from Chile to be smelted at Swansea's copper works.
Swansea's sailors making the trip tended to be Welsh and from rural areas and were highly regarded amongst the sailing elite.
They sailed in copper ore barques, which were heavy and bulky vessels built for strength rather than speed.
One of the names sculpted on the wall is Zeta, which was one of the copper ore barques owned by Henry Bath & Sons and carrying cargoes between Swansea and Chile.
It was a boat that Catherine Zeta-Jones ' great-grandfather once sailed, while the actress' grandmother was also named Zeta after the pride of the city's copper exporting fleet.
Next to the sea wall are two sculptures, The Copper Flame and the Zeta Mnemonical, which were both designed by Robin Campbell to mark the city's role at the heart of the global copper trade.
Nearby in SA1, more than 100 names are engraved into the paving slabs along the Riverside Walkway between the sail bridge and the Trafalgar Bridge.
Each name represents each ship that was registered in Swansea since 1824.
Craig Wood, senior lecturer in fine art at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, and artist Perry Roberts collaborated on the 300-metre long project in 2013.
Mr Wood said: "The names are all ship names that we collated from the shipping archives held in the Swansea library.
"We selected the ship's titles that consisted of people's names and added them interspersed to form a kind of rhythm as you walk along the path."
