From the Mareseum information sign:
La escultura está compuesta por siete piedras de basalto que simbolizan cada una de las islas principales del Archipiélago Canario. Las piedras están comunicadas por elementos que a modo de remos nacen de una gran nave suspendida en el aire. Un barco cuyas velas tienen forma de un reloj de arena similar a las montañas volcánicas, un medidor de tiempo que nos remonta al origen mismo del Archipiélago.

Ein Schiff, dessen Segel die Form einer Sanduhr aufweisen und an Vulkanberge erinnern – ein Zeitmesser, der auf den Ursprung des Archipels zurückgeht.
