The Galway Hooker Monument was designed by architect and sculptor Eamon O'Doherty. It was erected in Eyre Square in 1984 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Galway's charter.

The sculpture, also known as the Quincentennial Fountain, symbolizes the sails of Galway Hooker boats, traditional vessels that originated in Galway. The listed work also commemorates the importance of the sea in the city's development.
