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 63 x 19 inches.
HMAS Vampire was one of the old First World War destroyers that in 1939 German Propaganda Minister Goebbels labelled as a 'consignment of junk, Australia's scrap iron flotilla'. The ships HMAS Stuart, Vendetta, Voyager, Waterhen and Vampire, wore the name as a badge of honour. HMAS Vampire was sunk off the coast of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) on 9 April 1942. HMAS Nestor was one of the 'N' Class Destroyers lost in action on 17 August 1942. Tribal Class destroyer HMAS Arunta commemnced her service on 30 Mar 1942 and, although she suffered damage in action in January 1945, remained one the RAN fleet until 21 Dec 1957.
