Merchant Mariners Memorial Sydney Nova Scotia 2 © Debra Martz This sculpture on the waterfront recognizes the wartime contributions of the merchant navy. During WWII, Sydney became an assembly port for materials needed for war and was often referred to as the lifeline to Europe. The convoys shipping these materials were often on merchant ships never intended for the open seas. Voyage after voyage they saw dozens of ships go down. For those who survived, they faced hours, even days, on an open board and barrel raft. For thousands of others, there was only the eternal sea. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved 20231011-23-40_944

The Orangemen War Memorial Sydney Cape Breton © Debra Martz The monument is impressive, standing at a height exceeding three meters, and is inscribed with the names of 61 individuals from Nova Scotia who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. These brave men were all affiliated with Orange Lodges in Cape Breton County. At a meeting in Feb 1919, in the Orange Hall in Glace Bay, a proposal was made to build a memorial for the Orangemen from Cape Breton County who died in World War I. With the support of other lodges, the Glace Bay Lodge erected a monument in Sydney in 1921. Since then, annual services have been held at Wentworth Park to honor the Nova Scotian Orangemen who lost their lives in the war.
