LANCE COVE SEAMAN'S MEMORIAL

The photos below were taken by Harvey & Gail Weir, September 2019. In September 2021, a large sculpture by Brian Burke was unveiled at the back of this memorial. (Photos to be added.)
The photo below is a close-up of the front of the monument on the left as you enter the enclosure.
The 2 photos below are close-ups of the back of the monument on the left as you enter the enclosure; first the top part listing those who died on the S.S. Saganaga, and second those who died on the S.S. Rose Castle and the ​P.L.M. 27.
The photo below is the anchor from the PLM 27, one of the ore boats sunk on November 2, 1942. 
The photo below is a close-up of the small plaque attached to the anchor.
The photo below is a close-up of the plaque at the center back of the enclosure.
The story boards below are behind the enclosure. I took the photos on my cell phone on a bright day looking into the sun and in too much of a hurry; will try for better shots next time.
