About.

Everyone knows someone who is or was a commercial fisherman. Almost everyone knows someone who has lost a relative, loved one, friend or acquaintance to the Commercial Fishing Industry. In 1991, a small group of folks (Pat Weber, Bob Millard, Elsie Osborne, and Linnea Osborne) got together in Juneau with the mission of building a memorial to departed commercial fishermen, for those especially who have been lost at sea - for some of whom the Memorial now serves as their only grave.

As of Summer 2024, there are 264 names on the Wall (either engraved or pending engraving). 60 of them have stars - indicating that they died and/or were lost at sea.
