Lost to the Sea from Nova Scotia

Yarmouth Nova Scotia has a striking monument to lost fishermen located in a lovely park. It is very serene and thought-provoking.

There are many familiar Gloucester surnames included on this memorial, but one in particular piqued my interest.  George A. Pierce drowned off Eastern Point in August 1923, coincidentally during the city’s 300th anniversary celebration. Although he did not live in Gloucester at the time of his death, he did have family in town.  I was going to save this little tidbit for a future post regarding the history of the city’s anniversaries, but when I saw this on the beautiful memorial, I just had to share it.
