Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park

Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park is a memorial park built around the bow of the cargo ship 'MV Eva Jocelyn', which was washed ashore by giant waves during Typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda in the Philippines). It is located in the Anibong district of Tacloban City, Leyte, Eastern Visayas, Philippines. The park features the preserved shipwreck as its main landmark, commemorating the residents who lost their lives during the super typhoon in 2013, and symbolizes the resilience and rebuilding of Tacloban City. The memorial park was officially opened on November 7, 2015, and although small in size, its striking visuals have made it one of the important attractions to visit in Tacloban. The park also has a stone tablet inscribed with the names of the victims and basic facilities for visitors to pause and reflect.
