Steveston Fisherman's Memorial

A giant fishing net needle stands stoically on the shores edge of Garry point Park, symbolizing the brave fisherman who lost their lives at sea. Even the largest of fishing vessels pales in comparison to the magnitude and uncontrollable force of the ocean. The trade of the fisherman was dangerous and yet daily they motored out to find nourishment for the community.Made out of aluminum, bronze, concrete and stone by artist George Juhasz and Georg Shmerholz. Unveiled 1996. Engraved are the names of the fisherman and their boats on the circular base.

A memorial to honour the fishermen who died at sea offering their lives to provide food for the community. The memorial listed the names of heroic men. The place is located at Gary Point Park along the Fraser River flowing into the Pacific Ocean. It’s also interesting to see the naval mine from WW2 sitting by the seashore. It’s a relaxing place for a walk by the beach, walk the dog or simply admire the splashes of waves and enjoy the sunset.
