The City of Astoria in conjunction with the Port of Astoria proposes to erect a memorial to all those lost at sea and on the Columbia River bar which is commonly known as The Graveyard Of The Pacific. The memorial will be an heroic bronze figure nearly forty feet tall placed on its own island (accessible by a land-bridge) near the tip of the Astoria Peninsula. The tide will rise and fall around the tiny island, never completely claiming it and yet, far enough into the water never completely releasing it. Remote from the land and its concerns, the mariner will face toward the sea of which he is now a part.
