"Adrift" by John Cassidy  bronze sculpture located in Manchester, England.

Here are the key details about the sculpture:

Artist: John Cassidy (Irish-born sculptor, 1860–1939).

Completed: 1907.

Subject: It depicts a family—a man, a woman, and three children—clinging to a small raft in a stormy sea, embodying their shared struggles and the hope for rescue.

Meaning: Cassidy described the work as "Humanity Adrift on the Sea of Life," representing:

Life's sorrows, dangers, hopes, and fears.

The dependence of human beings upon one another and the response of human sympathy to human needs.

The inevitable dependence upon divine aid.
