A RESOLUTION OF THE PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY BOARD
OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, SUPPORTING THE DESIGNATION
OF A PORTION OF THE NEW SOUTH HARBOR UPLANDS ADDITION AS
THE SITE FOR A MARINERS' MEMORIAL
WHEREAS, Seward's history and economy are tied to its position as a seaport; and
WHEREAS, Seward has no memorial representing the many locals who dedicated their lives
to service at sea, and others who lost their lives in our local waters; and
WHEREAS, survivors of local mariners have had memorial plaques made but have no
where designated to display them; and
WHEREAS, Seward has no good venue for its annual Blessing of the Fleet and other
marine-oriented ceremonies; and
WHEREAS, a mariners' memorial could also serve as a reminder of our maritime history
and the importance of safe boating practices; and
WHEREAS, the local Kenai Fjords Yacht Club donated $1000 (one-thousand dollars) in
March 2004 to start a Mariner' Memorial Fund through the 2003 Seward Centennial non-profit
account; and
WHEREAS, other donations and grants would be sought by local residents and
organizations to fund the design, construction, and maintenance of the mariner's memorial.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PORT AND COMMERCE
ADVISORY BOARD OF THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, THAT:
Section 1. The Port and Commerce Advisory Board supports designating a portion of the
new south harbor uplands addition for the location of a mariners' memorial.
