New plaque will be dedicated to the 29 men killed in 1852
Descendants of 29 people involved in a maritime disaster more than 170 years ago are being invited to remember those who were killed.
A special memorial service is being held this weekend to mark the unveiling of a new memorial plaque to commemorate the Brig Lily shipwreck.
Port St Mary Commissioner Bernadette Williams says it’s dedicated to the men from the village who were killed in December 1852.
A service will be held in the garden of remembrance on Sunday (10 September) followed by a civic service at Mount Tabor Church.
