Fisherman’s Monument
13 Jubilee Drive,
Port Lincoln
Artist: Marijan Bekic
Year Installed: 1993 – 1994
About: The Fisherman’s Monument commemorates those who have been lost at sea. The front of the sculpture represents families anxiously looking out to the harbour entrance for that first glimpse of a returning boat.
Surrounding the central monument lay scattered stones with the individual names of some 50 men and their boats that have departed from Port Lincoln never to return. On average, one name is added to the granite stones each year.
The sculpture is made from Calca Granite from the west coast of Eyre Peninsula.
