Fisherman’s Memorial

‘An Chloch’, A Fisherman’s Memorial

Inis Oírr, Ireland

Irish for "the Stone", "An Chloch" is a memorial piece to create a place of honor for fishermen lost at sea and all those the sea has taken, especially those never found who could not be buried in the community's traditional cemetery.

Located in County Galway, Aran Islands, Ireland, this work was a volunteer, community supported project that was privately envisioned by the O'Conghaile family, led by Padrig O'Conghaile, propriator of Tigh Ned's and local fishermen. The work was designed and carved by Alexandra Morosco, with lettering by Karin Sprague, of Rhode Island.
