Seamen's Memorial Wall and Garden - Rotary Park, Bramble Street, Eden.
Erected as a memorial to all seamen
who have sailed from the port
of Eden that have been
lost at sea and never recovered. The wall was constructed following the loss of the trawler Shiralee with all hands on 10 August, 1978 . Twenty
four names are displayed on plaques on the wall and in the nearby circular
garden. The earliest is that of 22-year-old Norwegian Peter Lia, reputedly the
only whaler to have been killed during the century of whaling at Twofold Bay . It is currently the focus of research and this page will be updated when further information is available.
