Summary edit

Description
English: PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

Thanks to the efforts of fishermen from Lower Prospect and Terence Bay, nearly 400 people were saved.

The bodies recovered that were not claimed by relatives were buried here in the village of Terence Bay (277 in St. Paul’s Anglican Cemetery) and Lower Prospect (150 in the Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Cemetery). Monuments were erected as a sacred memorial to those lost in the disaster.

The Ismay family donated the monument in 1915; Thomas Henry Ismay was the founder of the White Star Line, which owned the SS Atlantic. The monument was lost in overgrown brush and bushes for many years until its rediscovery in 1980. On July 25, 1981, a rededication ceremony was held for the memorial monument.

The monument reads:

Near this spot was wrecked the S.S. 'Atlantic' April 1st, 1873 When 562 persons perished, of whom 277 were interred in this church yard.

This monument is erected as a sacred memorial by a few sympathetic friends.

'I am the resurrection and the life.'
