We are small group of passionate volunteers who have formed the W.A. Fishers’ Lost at Sea Memorial Association with the intention of collecting, researching and documenting every last tragedy that has befallen the WA Commercial Fishing, Pearling and Whaling Industries.
We are dedicated to the recognition of the hundreds of fisher men and women who have lost their lives in pursuit of the development and operation of Commercial Fishing in Western Australia since early settlement.
It is a considerable task, but one that ultimately seeks to provide a final resting place in the form of a Physical and Virtual Memorial to honour those we have lost, and to provide a place of remembrance for the family and friends who were connected with each tragedy.
Our aim is to build a Sea Organ Memorial to honour those who have been lost at sea.
