Mariners' Memorial coming together

More progress has been made on the Wrangell Mariners' Memorial. The memorial is an ongoing project to recognize Wrangell sailors who have been lost at sea. Jenn Miller-Yancey, with the Mariners' Memorial Board, said that the past month has been spent getting foundations for the memorial completed. She also reported that a lot of progress on the memorial's gazebo has been made. The skeleton of the gazebo is up already, and the foundations for the memorial walls are complete. The shape of the memorial is really coming together, she said.

"It's exciting out there because there's dimension," Miller-Yancey said.

Currently, the board is looking into final designs for the memorial walls and getting their construction started. Hopefully, she said, the board will be sending out information on plaques for the memorial sometime this summer.
