Being the fishing town that it is, Homer is home to many men and women who risk their lives to head out to sea. They willingly go, knowing that they may come back with a fresh seafood payload or that they might never see safe harbor again. Situated on the Homer Split, Seafarer's Memorial is a lovely tribute to the people who have lost their lives at sea. It is not limited to those in commercial fishing, but also remembers people who passed away while kayaking, canoeing, or in any other type of vessel. There are around 70 names, along with the dates they died and their vessels, engraved on plaques that are mounted on the pillars. The sight will show you a different side of Homer and the people that reside there.

Address: 4535 Homer Spit Rd, Homer, AK 99603
