IoM[3] - Kewley Memorial

IoM[3] - Kewley Memorial
Memorial to David "Dawsey" Kewley, in recognition of his life-saving activities, now displayed in the "Memorial Gardens" on Douglas Promenade. [dated 1904, the year of his death]
The text reads 23 lives saved, but "Dawsey" probably payed a role in several more - at least 38 by some accounts. Most seem too have involved him jumping into Douglas Harbour, during work for the Isle of man Steam Packet Company.

A lovely memorial to a very brave and unassuming man Sara, I love the floral borders behind it. A nice place to sit and relax on the bench here.

HBM and have a good week ahead
