Discover "The Hide Drogher" in Dana Point, California Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Dana Point, California, "The Hide Drogher" is a captivating sculpture that brings to life a unique slice of 19th-century history. Crafted by renowned artist F. Benedict Coleman in 1990, this striking statue depicts a sailor in the act of hurling a cowhide over the cliff—a nod to the historical practice where rancheros transported cow hides to the cliff's edge, from where droghers (draggers) would send them down to ships waiting in the harbor below.
