The monument commemorates seafarers and fishermen and lightkeepers who have been lost at sea in or from the Cape Jaffa or Kingston SE area. 

The lighthouse was originally built out to sea from Cape Jaffa, on the Margaret Brock Reef where is stood for 100 years. In 1974, the local community, with the help of the National Trust, decided to dismantle the structure and to reassemble it again in Kingston SE.
