“Memorializing the 233 victims from the 1st of August 1970 MV Christena disaster is beyond petty politics,” Hobson declared. The MV Christena sank while travelling between St. Kitts and Nevis on August 1, 1970. Those men, women and children were not Team Unity victims, Labour victims, PAM victims, PLP victims or NRP victims. After nearly 56 years, the Christena tragedy still touches families across St. Kitts and Nevis and throughout the diaspora. Should the Federal Government officially commission the Basseterre MV Christena Monument and establish an annual August 1 memorial ceremony in St. Kitts?
