A lasting memorial for those lost at sea
Over the centuries, in peace and war, men, women and children who have lost their lives to the sea, whether in ships, aircraft or shoreline tragedies, have often had no grave or permanent memorial of their passing.
The Remembrance Book for Those Lost at Sea with No Known Grave was established by the Maritime Foundation in 1987 to provide a lasting memorial – a focus of remembrance for relatives and friends.
If you have a relative or friend who has died in such circumstances, however long ago, and you would like their name to be entered in the Remembrance Book, please visit the Lost At Sea website.
Annual Service of Remembrance
A Service of Thanksgiving has been held each October at All Hallows by the Tower, for families and friends.
This year's service will take place for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic at All Hallows on Thursday, 12th October 2023.
To attend the service, please contact the Lost At Sea Co-ordinator, Angie Poppit at memorialbook@lostatsea.org.uk.
