The memorial honors over 675 local commercial fishermen who have lost their lives since the 1900s, with names inscribed on bronze plaques.
The memorial features a bronze sculpture of a fisherman, created by artist Ronald Petty, symbolizing the courage and sacrifice of those who work at sea.
Every year, a memorial service is held to honor and remember the fishermen who have perished, bringing together families and the community.
It is situated at Fishermen's Terminal, a hub for Seattle's fishing industry, making it a fitting location for the memorial.
The memorial was completed and dedicated in 1988, reflecting the community's commitment to remembering those who have been lost at sea.
The memorial was funded through donations from the fishing community, local businesses, and individuals, showcasing the community's solidarity.
