GOOD FENCES - Great Saltee Island (Part 5 )

I am continuing my series and linking with GOOD FENCES today.  I thought this statue was very beautiful and sad at the same time. I hope you can read what is written on this stone tablet below and I don't think I need to say anymore. 






















Many thanks for your visit and I hope you enjoyed this post.

 Also thanks for everyone who leaves comments on this post.

    All so sad.But something like this is so good, to not forget those who died and were lost at sea. Yes, I could read most of the plaque story of the mourning couple. Around here on some beaches in the north, there are houses with fenced in terraces up high called Widow's Walks. Wives used to go up there and watch for their husband's return from sea.

    That is a touching memorial to those lost at sea. Obviously this memorial was designed and built by a group of people who care deeply about what they were doing. Great photos.

    A poignant reminder of just how perilous seafaring used to be, Margaret. Happily, most risks these days are encountered only by those that wish to take them.

    Best wishes - - - - Richard
