A memorial to fishermen and others whose lives were lost at sea has been unveiled in Looe.
A ceremony took place to unveil a plaque on the new fish stores on East Looe Quay. 'It is an official tribute to the dangers the fishermen of the town face every day,' said the town's mayor, Ron Overd.
Harbour commissioner Paul Greenwood came up with the idea of honouring people from the port who died at sea after residents paid for a statue to Nelson, a one-eyed seal who made his home in the harbour.
'I thought there was nothing to commemorate men who have lost their lives,' he said. 'Some of their bodies never found, so they have no graves and it is nice for their names to be somewhere.'
The plaque was unveiled by 93-year-old Edwina Rosie Clarke, whose son David Clarke is named on the plaque.
Looe residents Bob and Iris Butler, whose son died in a speedboat accident, said: 'We would like to thank Paul Greenwood, and everyone involved in making a very special memorial plaque and arranging a lovely service.'
Mr Butler added: 'We lost a 19-year-old boy, Bernard, 20 years ago and so it was important for us to be there.'
The plaque was funded by the Harbour Commissioners and scores of people attended the ceremony.
