Merchant Seafarers' War Memorial

Merchant Seafarers' War Memorial

This War Memorial is located close to the Pierhead Building and Senedd. It was sculpted by Brian Fell in 1996 as a memorial to the Merchant Seamen of Cardiff Bay and Butetown. The sculptor seamed together the two distinct features of the beached hull of a ship and a timeless face.

The surrounding interpretative mosaic by Louise Shenstone and Adrian Butler, carries inscriptions and portraits of local wartime seafarers.
