A memorial service will be held at St. James Church on Thursday, September 19, 2024, from 12:30 to 13:00, to commemorate the crew of the fishing vessel Argos Georgia.

The FV Argos Georgia, operated by Argos Froyanes Ltd., sank near the Falkland Islands on Monday, July 22, 2024, while en route to its fishing grounds. Of the 27 individuals onboard, 14 survived; nine were declared deceased and four remain missing.

As the vessel was registered in St. Helena, it is fitting that a tribute is paid to the crew as members of the global fishing community. The service will be held in their honor.

Acknowledgment and commendation are also extended to those involved in the rescue mission.
