This monument is carved out of a granite rock and is over 100 ft long, it was done by the artist deGarthe. There are carvings of 32 fishermen with their wives and children as well as "Peggy" of the cove. There are 3 sections to the carving. Mr deGarthe emigrated to Canada from Finland and was a renowned artist and sculpture, who settled in Peggy's Cove. In 1977, at 70 years of age, he commenced hand carving a monument to the fishermen of Peggys Cove, in a granite outcrop at the back of his home. He completed the monument in 3 distinct sections and work on it for 6 years until in death in 1983. From Right to Left: Section 1 - Work, shows local fishermen hard at work hauling nets, pulling a dory and using other tools of the trade to catch fish. Section 2 - Bounty, celebrates the riches of the sea - the fish so essential to the survival of this community. The highlight here is the young woman carrying a basket. It’s the famous “Peggy” who some say inspired the name of this cove. Section 3 - Grace, features a guardian angel watching over a fisherman and his family. |
