| Here you can see photos of the memorial to seamen from Porkeri. The memorial is not only for seamen who lost their lives at sea, but also for others who lost their lives at sea. Porkeri is one of the villages in the Faroe Islands, which has lost most lives at sea. In a single accident several houses lost all of their men or almost all of them: husbands, fathers, uncles, brothers and sons. There are many stories about ships and boats, which never came back. Elderly people still remember these accidents as if they happened yesterday. |
