The Iceberg Man was so pleased with the image of the container ship "Astrom" passing behind the iceberg that he had local artist Jason Sharpe paint a huge mural of his picture on the Iceberg Shop.

The Iceberg Shop is approximately 160 years old. In earlier days it was the barn of the family of Georgina Stirling, Twillingate's own opera singer. The building was towed across Twillingate Harbour to its present site in 1958.
