Tasmanian Seafarers' Memorial

The memorial comprises individual commemorative plaques for each maritime tragedy involving recreational, commercial, mercantile or naval vessels and personnel lost since 1803.

Sited in a park on Esplanade West, Triabunna and overlooking the local port of Spring Bay, the structure comprises low, curved masonry walls forming a fish shape in plan, upon the capping of which are set the commemorative plaques.

Openings to each side allow viewers into the centre of the Memorial, where a masonry boat-like plinth supports a large vertical anchor cross and the Merchant Naval plaque.

A separate sandstone bollard to one side carries the main Naval plaque, while ahead and on the front quarters of the Memorial stand ships masts with halyards and lights, and a flagpole.

The design combines both maritime and spiritual influences by incorporating a plan layout which reflects the early Christian ichthys or "fish" symbol, and was undertaken by local Tasmanians Mrs K. M. Fergusson and J. G. Castle.
