Remembering Robert Morley and Adam Harper
Robert Morley, 38, and Adam Harper, just 26, were working hard on the Joanna C when disaster hit in the dead of night. Their untimely deaths shocked not only their families but also the tight-knit fishing community, painfully aware of the sea’s dangers.
Community Pays Tribute
Locals paused to honour their memory on November 21. “Rest in peace, Robert and Adam. Your memories sail with us, always,” one tribute read, capturing the deep respect held for the lost fishermen.
