Cove Harbour Fishermans Memorial - designed by Jill Watson and an addition to those erected by the same artist at Eyemouth, Burnmouth and St Abbs.

The memorial sculptures show the widows and children left behind looking out to the sea and rocks where such terrible events occurred in the teeth of the wind and rain during the terrible storm of October 14, 1881, when 189 men lost their lives. Cove was the worst hit community proportionately, losing four of its five boats and 11 of its 21 fishermen.
