Inscription description
plaque affixed to the rough-hewn base: During the morning of Monday April 17th 1995 whilst on / passage from Jersey to Sark, the French catamaran "Saint-Malo" / struck a rock known as Le Frouquie, 900 metres north of / La Corbière Lighthouse. Visibility was good at the time, but / with a Spring tide ebbing to the west and a westerly Force 5 / wind, the sea conditions near Corbière were moderate to rough. / Emergency services responded promptly and nearby ships gave / assistance. All 307 passengers and crew were saved from the / partially submerged vessel. / This memorial is erected in thanksgiving and as a tribute to / the rescue, which with the help of God and of many strong / arms, ensured the safe return of all on board.
