Day 57

 

Monument to local fishermen, San Remo

Inscription on opposite side reads:-

This cairn is a monument dedicated to local fishermen from this port

who have paid the ultimate price

and lost their lives in pursuit of their livelihood.

Down to the sea

in ships they go

these chosen men of steel,

though mist & foam

and North West wind

is founding at the keel

So sail they must

each crispy morn

away from trees & sod,

the sea may own

their wind burned flesh,

but their souls

belong to God.
