Statue showing a young boy, with a bare right foot, holding up his right boot and looking at it
Statue in Cleethorpes, England
The Boy with the Leaking Boot is a statue showing a young boy, with a bare right foot, holding up his right boot and looking at it. The statue is about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall, and in many cases forms a fountain, with water emerging from the toe of the boot. There are at least 24,[1] and reportedly "hundreds"[2] of examples. The origins of the statue are obscure. The boy is reported to be a young Italian newspaper seller who drowned, or an American army drummer-boy who carried water in his leaking boot to help fallen comrades,[3] or a young fire-fighter either using his boot in a bucket chain or emptying his boot after an incident,[2] or possibly none of these. The statue has also been called The Boy with the Leaky Boot,[4]Boy Immigrant and Unfortunate Boot.[5]
