Glad you like 👍 this mowsehowse!  Here is a slightly longer distance photo.  I noticed that the memorial is attracting a steady stream of visitors  :)

It is tremendous.  I assume he is visible from sea?

The Brixham memorial is not much above life size, (I think,) and for me it is more about private moments of reflection than your large mariner who must arrest the eye from quite a distance.

Hi mowsehowse,

Yes, I think by the size, this memorial will be visible from the sea.  As the Memorial is floodlit at night I would imagine that those entering or leaving the Tyne during the night will have a good view too.

Can you see the small glass in the photo?  Apparently, on Sunday someone left a small dram of whiskey in memory of a loved one lost at sea.

Thank you for your posts. :)

A "shot glass"? 
Nice idea but it looks like someone else couldn't resist! :-X
