Vernon Monument

(Translated by Google) VERNON MONUMENT
This is truly a worthy celebration of history.
The bronze sculpture, which depicts a Mk17 contact sea mine and two divers, was unveiled at Gunwharf Quays on 17 March 2020 after a team of volunteers raised over £250,000 to fund the 1.25 life-size memorial.
British Mk17 anchored mine armed with "Hertz horn" contacts - chemical fuses, two divers, with the equally iconic Clearance Diving Breathing Apparate, try to deactivate the mine.
The sculpture was created by Mr. Mark Richards.
