The unpredictable seas around Tasmania’s coastline have claimed lives since the days of sail. This memorial on the waterfront at Triabunna is dedicated to all Tasmanian seafarers, civilians or members of the armed services, who have lost their lives at sea, and to all those, regardless of occupation, who lost their lives in Tasmanian waters.

Plaques are fixed to the top of a low brick wall in the shape of the first Christian symbol, a fish, and the wall is surmounted by an anchor cross.
