Statue of John Deighton

Its location moved to various spots in Vancouver's Gastown neighborhood, in British Columbia, Canada.

[1] It was finally installed at a spot near where Deighton (also known as "Gassy Jack") had opened the Globe Saloon in 1867.

He travelled to California and then New Caledonia (now British Columbia, Canada) as a gold prospector, before operating bars in New Westminster and later on the south side of Burrard Inlet.

It came to rest at the intersection of Carrall and Water streets, near where Deighton had built the Globe Saloon in 1867, one of the first buildings in Vancouver.

As reason for its removal, activists cited Deighton's marriage in 1870 to a 12-year-old Squamish girl named Quahail-ya.
