In 1961, three longliners were destroyed in a vicious storm near Lockeport, killing all 17 fishermen aboard and leaving 65 children fatherless. Over 40 years later, the families of the deceased, along with local artists, have created a memorial quilt that depicts each of the men and the ships that went down with them. The quilt is on display at the Lockeport Crescent Beach Centre.

William E. deGarthe Memorial Provincial Park
William E. deGarthe, one of Nova Scotia's most beloved maritime artists, created a 30m (100ft) carving of 32 fisherman, plus their wives and children, as they are looked over by a guardian Angel, using a granite wall as his canvas. The carving is the centrepiece of the William E. deGarthe Memorial Provincial Park, located in the village of Peggy's Cove. Unfortunately, deGarthe passed away before the memorial was completed, but it is still a must-see.
