Statues - Hither & Thither

During the morning of Monday April 17th 1995 whilst on
passage from Jersey to Sark, the French catamaran "Saint-Malo"
struck a rock known as Le Frouquie, 900 metres north of
La Corbière Lighthouse. Visibility was good at the time, but
with a Spring tide ebbing to the west and a westerly Force 5
wind, the sea conditions near Corbière were moderate to rough.

—

Emergency service responded promptly and nearby ships gave
assistance. All 307 passengers and crew were saved from the
partially submerged vessel.

—

This memorial is erected in thanksgiving and as a tribute to
the rescue, which with the help of God and of many strong
arms, ensured the safe return of all on board.
