Memorial to Norberg Thompson
This is a granite memorial to Norberg Thompson (1884-1951) who was the mayor of Key West from 1915-1917. There is a compass rose surrounding the memorial.
The plague reads:
He loved his island city and served as its mayor.
He devoted his life to adding and providing
employment for its people. For over 50 years.
Most of his accomplishments were located
along this harbor.
They included sponging, fishing, shrimping,
ice making, a cigar box factory, gourmet
turtle soup, pineapple and guava canning,
barge and truck lines, etc.
Never heard to brag, he epitomized.
