A fiberglass whale statue that sat on the roof of Worrell's Seafood at 213 Goldsboro Street South in Wilson, North Carolina, for the better part of 36 years was being restored by local artist Ashley Fabrizio, the Wilson Times reported on 25 December 2024, as part of a plan to reopen the restaurant downtown in the spring. Whether the restaurant has reopened and the whale is back on the roof is not confirmed.
