Westport’s Fishermen’s Monument Restoration Begins

The waterfront landmark has honored local people lost at sea since 1960 and hasn’t had a major refurbishment since 1974.

Work has started on restoring Westport’s Fishermen’s Monument. The waterfront landmark has honored local people lost at sea since 1960 and hasn’t had a major refurbishment since 1974. The roughly $100,000 project follows six years of planning and includes improvements intended to make the site safer and more welcoming for visitors. Grants, private donations and city support are paying for the work. People who want to help cover remaining costs can donate through Westport City Hall and mark the contribution for the monument fund.
