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.
