Look Out

Look to your left at the memorial of a lifeboat man looking out to sea. This (also Grade ll listed) statue commemorates several men who lost their lives when the Margate Surf Boat capsized in

December 1897. This statue serves as a constant reminder of the men and women who give their lives for those in peril at sea. The power of the waves is an ever-present natural phenomenon

which Margate has long battled.
