Provincial Mariners' Memorial

The only provincial memorial dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives at sea, the Mariners' Memorial also pays tribute to the strength of those who were left behind. The life-size bronze female figure is set in the garden, defined by trees, landforms and rock terraces. She represents thousands of NL women who endured the loss of their men. The garden also has a symbolic shoreline of beach rocks defining a water channel, with plaques containing the names of mariners lost at sea.
