text:
The Pilcher Monument is an obelisk in Sark, Channel Islands, erected in memory of JG Pilcher, an oil merchant killed in a boat wreck in 1868. The monument stands above Havre Gosselin bay, the site of the 1868 incident, in which five men were killed. The monument was erected by Pilcher's widow some time after 1886. Its inscription records the sorrow of the Pilcher family but also warns the reader to beware of the coast and to take "caution and warning!".
