The plaque reads ...
Gavin Anthony Batchelor
Fisherman of Triabunna
Born 26.12.1970 Drowned 19.12.1995
Lost fron dinghy in storm off Maria Is
Life mostly froth and bubble
Two things stand like stone
Kindness in another's troubles
Courage in your own
The drowing of the local Triabunna resident Gavin Batchelor whilst out fishing from a dinghy in the vicinity of Maria Island was the catalyst for establishing in 1997 the Tasmanian Seafarers' Memorial.
