Memorial Design Summary

 

The memorial evokes images of fishing and the sea.

 

A formal rock garden provides an entry.

 

Situated on an elevated viewing platform, the Torii gate frames a view of the former Terminal Island fishing community.

 

A seating area provides a place for contemplation.

 

Etched photographs provide a memory path along the curving bridge wall.

 

Plaques of donor names honor members of a special heritage.

 

Buried within the memorial, a time capsule holds historic information for future generations.
