Lost at Sea Memorial

This is the "Lost at Sea Memorial" at Montauk Point, which is located between the light house and the cliff.  It is a commemorative monument memorializing commercial fishermen who were lost at sea while fishing the waters of eastern Long Island.  The memorial was created by sculptor Malcolm Frazer over a several year period and was finished and dedicated in November 1999.  The names of those lost are engraved on the pink granite at the base of the sculpture.  The earliest names are four fisherman who all died on February 24, 1719.  The four ranged in age from 24 to 29 years of age...   Such a sobering thing to read.
