The Eyemouth Fishing Disaster 1881
The tragedy, which became known locally as Black Friday, left 78 widows and 182 fatherless children in the town.
A five-metre long bronze sculpture called Widows and Bairns was created by sculptor Jill Watson, who was commissioned to design memorials representing the surviving widows and children from four of the communities affected by the disaster - Cove, St Abbs, Eyemouth and Burnmouth.
