Memorial Anchor - Monument
Info: Memorial Anchor
Memorial Anchor is commemorating the civilian sailors who lost their lives at sea during the Second World War. A 10 metre tall wooden cross was on 26 September 1945 placed at the site to commemorate the civilian sailors who had lost their lives during the war years 1939–1945. In 1948, it was replaced by a cross in marble. It was later decided to install a Memorial Anchor at the site. The Memorial Anchor was inaugurated on 29 August 1951.
A lead capsule with the names of 1,600 sailors is buried under the anchor.
