“come admire this beautiful memorial”
A life-size bronze sculpture of a woman standing watch awaiting the return of her husband from the sea graces Cape Sante Marina in Anacortes (pop. 15,778). Created by sculptor Deborah Copenhaver, the Lady of the Sea statue stands next to a monument that pays tribute to local fishermen and women who lost their lives at sea. Of all the marinas in town, the Cape Sante Marina is the most beautiful. Here the Lady of the Sea stands watch awaiting the return of her husband from the sea. Next to the statue is a monument that pays tribute to local fishermen and women who lost their lives at sea. We were told that the 14 names listed for 1983 were due to two fishing boats (the Altair and the Americus) sinking in the Bering Strait. It was a bona fide tragedy for the town and nearly wiped out a generation of young men. There is an additional memorial to these 14 men near the W.T. Preston.
This an amazing and inspirational statue and memorial plaque that pays homage and tribute to "those who work and play at sea and those who wait for them. Don't visit Anacortes without seeing. Even more moving in cold windy weather.
