St Monans to create fishermen's memorial garden honouring 1875 tragedy and enduring maritime heritage

ST MONANS, FIFE – May 15, 2025 – The St Monans Memorial Garden Committee today announced plans for the creation of a dedicated Fishermen's Memorial Garden. This significant community project aims to serve as a lasting tribute to the 21 St Monans fishermen who tragically lost their lives in a devastating storm off the Norfolk coast in November 1875, and to honour the ongoing bravery of all who sail the seas.
