Below are the names of those lost or damaged ships along with the names of those crew members that lost their lives while serving on them. I have also included some photos of the memorial that stands on City Quay, by the Liffey in Dublin city. The memorial consists of a 20ft block of Wicklow Granite with a 200 year old anchor found off the south cost of Ireland. On it are etched 149 names. The memorial was opened by the then President of Ireland Dr. Edmund Hillery. Below are the names of those on the memorial and some photos I've taken of the memorial and also of the November 2004 Memorial Service at the site.
PhotosA glimpse at a map of the Ringsend area of Dublin will find you the following street names: Breman Road, Breman Grove, Cymric Road, Isolda Road, Pine Road, Leukos Road, Kyleclare Road and Clonlara Road. This first step to a memorial was carried out in the late 1970's.
Members of the Mercantile Marine that served during the war were eligible to receive the Mercantile Marine Service Medal. They were issued up 1980 and even to this day, former merchant men can claim their medal
