TO ERECT A STONE MEMORIAL AT THE MERSEY WATERFRONT TO COMMEMORATE THE FORTY-FOUR PERSONS WHO DIED IN THE MV "DERBYSHIRE" AND TO FURTHER THE AWARENESS OF THE PUBLIC TO THE IMPORTANCE OF FORENSICALLY EXAMINING WRECKED VESSELS, NOT JUST TO ASCERTAIN WHY THEY BECAME A CASUALTY, BUT TO SEARCH FOR ANY DEFICIENCY THAT MAY BE HELD BY VESSELS ELSEWHERE, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF A SIMILAR TYPE. THE MEMORIAL WOULD, USING HISTORY'S STATISTICS, SHOW THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF LIVES PRESERVED THROUGH IMPLEMENTING LESSONS LIFTED FROM THE WRECK OF MV "DERBYSHIRE." THE MEMORIAL WOULD NOT ONLY MOURN LOSS OF LIFE, BUT ALSO CELEBRATE PRESERVATION OF LIFE THROUGH THAT LOSS. 2. TO SUPPORT THE MERSEYSIDE MARITIME MUSEUM IN PRESENTING EXHIBITIONS THAT EDUCATE THE PUBLIC TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DANGERS FACED BY THE SEAFARER IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, AND THOSE POSED BY THE INADEQUACY OF THE MEANS BY WHICH HE/SHE PLIES THE OCEANS. 3.
