===1904 World's Fair=== The statue was shipped to St. Louis as Birmingham's entry into the 1904 World's Fair. Vulcan dramatically demonstrated the mineral riches and manufacturing capabilities of the Birmingham area while on display in the [[Louisiana Purchase Exposition]]'s "Palace of Mines and Metallurgy". It was awarded a "Grand Prize". When the 1904 World's Fair ended, the ''Vulcan'' statue was dismantled and returned to its home city of Birmingham, only to be left in pieces alongside the railroad tracks due to unpaid freight bills.
