I visit this memorial often. I enjoy the tranquil views of the ships and boats passing by. The park is beautiful for a picnic or to walk your dog. The memorial itself is beautiful and a great way to honor those who have passed in the sea.

Its a nice place just under the Astoria bridge. Gives you a great view of the bridge. As the name suggests its a memorial, it also has a information board about Ghadar party - it is related to Indian independence movement against the British colonial rule. Informative and scenic. You can use the trolley if it is working.

Hidden gem with a unique view and a wealth of history including a lifeboat launch and an interpretive sign about the nearby founding of the Ghadar party. The fountain was originally built for the 1905 Lewis and Clark centennial. So much to see here or just #sitwithabook

Just a wee little memorial park under the Astoria bridge. I stopped to get underside of the bridge pictures and this little park was the perfect spot. There was a cute family playing on the tiny beach.

Old 300 is the 106 year old refurbished trolley. Beautiful car, fun experience, gorgeous sights and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and describe what we are seeing as we go along making it fun and interesting.

Amazing place. We had a picnic lunch then walked around reading the names and related jobs of those with Maritime history past and mote recent. Lovely memorial. The Astoria trolley went by us, and people were walking on the Riverfront trail.

It was very interesting to read each of the plaques and learn about those who have been a part of the history of Astoria in the various ways. The dates span a fairly wide margin of time. It appears that some of those being remembered may have perished in the Columbia in Performance of their duties. Enjoyed the exhibit.

So pretty! I love the bridge view and the memorial spot. I saw a name who was shared with my grandpa! It was wild. Green grass and soft waves make it stunning!

A wonderful way to remember those who loved the sea. Peaceful way to review all 1200 plus names on each plaque. My uncle and dad where both added this year.

A wonderful place to respect,q and reflect, on those lost at sea, all, in the line of thier respective duties. Listed is a fraction of the souls for the preceeding 200+ years beyond which the number is unknowable. The open topped arch represents the gateway to the Pacific, jaws of death Columbia River Bar.

Really moving and in a beautiful spot. Spending a few minutes here will tell you a lot about the history of this community including a few surprises (like this was the birthplace of the Ghadar party for an independent India). This is a memorial, not a cemetery but respect is still appropriate when youre here.

Small, moving memorial to those in the broader fishing and maritime world. Just under the bridge. Not worth a detour but if your strolling along the river walk, spend a few minutes appreciating those who contributed to the town and its industry.
