Dedication ceremony of the Memorial : Anchor of Dredger “LORD WILLINGDON” by Cine Artist Shri Mohanlal

On
THE MEMORIAL ANCHOR OF
THE DREDGER “LORD WILLINGDON”
THAT MADE THE WILLINGDON ISLAND
BY
SHRI MOHANLAL,
(Cine Artist & Padma Bhushan Recipient)
Saturday, 7th September 2019 at 9:00 AM at
MERCHANT NAVY CLUB, KOCHI
The modern port of Cochin is situated in “Wllingdon Island”- a historical
monument of human efforts which was constructed reclaiming 3.2 Sq.km of land under the visionary leadership of a British Harbour Engineer Sir Robert Bristow and named after Lord Willingdon – the 32 nd Viceroy of India who was instrumental in the implementation of this green-field port at the southern end of Indian peninsula.
On May 26, 1928, Capt. Bullen of the steam ship `Padma’, coming down from Bombay sailed calmly into this newly made harbour and the modern port of Cochin was thus opened to the world.
This colossal reclamation work was achieved with the help of a dredger by
name ‘Lord Willingdon’, which worked relentlessly since its arrival at
Kochi in 1926 till the successful completion of this mammoth project.
Having outlived her life Dredger Willingdon sank off the Cochin harbour in 1979, but the remains of her proud memories- “the Anchor” – is being installed in front of the Merchant Navy Club, Kochi as a befitting memorial.
The monument- “The Anchor that made this island”, conceived and executed by famous Artist Maraprabhu Ramachandran is a tribute to the long saga of ambition, skill, determination and perseverance of Robert Bristow and his team in making one of the safest harbours in the peninsula.
Dr. Malini V Shankar, IAS, Director General of Shipping dedicated a Seafarer’s Memorial at the Merchant Navy club on 26th December 2018.
The inaugral function was also attended by Dr. M. Beena, IAS, Chairperson of the Cochin Port Trust.
26.Dec.2018 @1600Hrs at the Merchant Navy Club, Kochi , Dr. Malini V Shankar, IAS, Director General of Shipping will dedicate a Seafarer’s Memorial (“A tribute to the living and the lost”).
From Phoenicians to Portuguese to British to Spanish, the history of mankind is the story of explorations, expeditions and conquests by sea….
Christopher Columbus… Captain Cook… Ferdinand Magellan…. Bartolome
Diaz- the history has always been partisan to the successful heroes of the sea.
But the history of seafaring also belongs to several others who perished before the mysteries of the sea. And no seafarer establishment is complete without a memorial paying tribute to such unsung heroes of the seas…..
“A tribute to the living and the lost” stands as a sobering reminder of the
dangers of the sea and also a lasting testament to the strength of a community pooling their efforts to fulfil their dreams……
And many sailor folklore depict mermaids as the good omen which can bring good fortune, bestow boons and save them from storms and ship wrecks.
Mermaids are one of the most famous mythical creatures whose allure and
mystery has taken hold of sailors’ imaginations for ages.
Seafarer’s memorial at the Merchant Navy Club, Kochi recites the saga of
seafaring and depicts their survival instinct against the odds. The memorial
symbolises the power of the community that loves the men and women who go to sea and is a tribute to all those lost at sea and is dedicated to them- past, present, and future.
Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone… Respect the sea and those who make their livings on it…….
Dear Friends, On 26th of December 2018 at 1600Hrs, the Director General of Shipping Dr. Malini V Shankar IAS will dedicate a Seafarer’s Memorial (“A tribute to the living and the lost”) at the Merchant Navy Club, Kochi to the maritime community. May I appeal to all my friends to share this information and attend the function to make it a grand success….
