The Fisherman's Monument is a 100 foot long bas relief carved on an exposed piece of in situ granite by William deGarthe, a painter and sculptor from Finland who immigrated to Canada in 1926. He spent many summers at Peggy’s Cove and moved there in 1955. Then in September 1977, aged 70 he began carving this memorial to the hard-working fishermen of Peggy's Cove. Sadly, deGarthe passed away in 1983 before he could complete the monument.

Interesting monument. There is a plaque with information about it and a couple of good information boards nearby.

Interesting story. Nice memorial. Located right across the street from the main visitor center parking lot.
