What Wrangell Mariners Memorial does
Mission
We were formed to construct a Mariners' Memorial for Wrangell.We are still in the construction phase of the project. Once we complete the construction we will continue to operate and maintain it but would like to turn the structure asset over to the City and Borough of Wrangell as it is their land. When completed we will provide a place to honor Wrangell mariners and to have a historical record of those honored. In 2023 we installed 14 names at the memorial.We continue to do small construction items although about 98% complete with construction
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2023 we did some concrete repair work and worked on some other small construction work. We installed an additional 14 plaques onto our memorial walls during our annual application cycle. The memorial plaques benefit the islands seafaring community which includes families and friends on our small community.

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $15k to $25k (+64%).
