Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Crib Point Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History
The Chapel of Our Lady Star of the Sea was designed by PJ O'Connor and Brophy and built by WA Medbury as a memorial to 'those men of the Royal Australian Navy who gave their lives in World War I and II'. The Foundation stone was blessed the Melbourne's Archbishop, the Most Rev. D. Mannix DD, LLD, on 6 October 1946. The builder ordered windows from Brooks, Robinson & Co. in March 1948, most to be made of 'amber quarries with a green outside border and a ruby inner border' with emblems inset, as was the case for this group in the north nave that each measured approximately 67 x 24 inches. The window was the gift of the girls at Vaucluse College, Richmond.
HMAS Canberra, named for Australia's capital, was a heavy cruiser of the Kent sub-class of County class cruiser. Built in Scotland in the late 1920s, during the Second World War she plied the Indian Ocean between Ceylon, South Africa and Australia before being reassigned to convoy duties around New Guinea and the Pacific region. During the Battle of Savo Island on 9 August 1942, she was badly damaged and it was decided to evacuate the ship; she was then sunk by United States Navy destroyers.
