Inishowen Maritime Memorial

Outside
the Maritime Museum in Greencastle is a monument to all those
from the Inishowen Peninsula who have died at sea.
The inscription
reads:
"This
monument is in memory of all those from the Inishowen Peninsula
who have died at sea.
The adjacent plaques record the names of those who are known
to have lost their lives.
It has not been possible to find out the name of every person
who has died at sea and any omissions are unintentional.
Further information can be obtained in the Maritime
Museum opposite."
