The figurehead of Salacia "Sally" was presented to Watchet's Esplanade Club in July 2017 by Alan Herriott, the sculptor who created the sculptures Yankee Jack and The Ancient Mariner that stand on Watchet Harbour. She was painted by local artist Pat Dennis.

In Roman mythology Neptune wanted to marry Salacia, goddess of salt water, but she was nervous, gliding away and hiding from him in the Atlantic ocean to protect herself and her virginity. Neptune sent a dolphin to look for her and to tell her Neptune wanted her for his wife. Salacia agreed and returned with the dolphin to become Neptune's bride.

It is said that Neptune was so grateful to the dolphin he was awarded a place in the heavens, becoming the constellation Delphinus
