M/V Eva Jocelyn Shrine

The M/V Eva Jocelyn Shrine in Barangay Anibong, Tacloban City, Leyte, preserves the bow of the cargo vessel M/V Eva Jocelyn that was carried inland by the storm surge of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) on November 8, 2013. The vessel came to rest in the residential area, resulting in significant loss of life. The site has been developed as a memorial and marker commemorating the victims and the event, serving as a place of remembrance and education for visitors.

Visitors can expect an open-air memorial centered on the preserved bow section of the M/V Eva Jocelyn cargo ship, left where it was deposited inland. The site includes the ship structure, commemorative markers, plaques with names and information about the 2013 event, a small viewing area and landscaped grounds. The surroundings are a residential coastal barangay. Visitors can walk around the base of the ship, read interpretive signage, take photographs and observe the scale of the vessel relative to nearby houses.

The shrine marks the final resting place of the M/V Eva Jocelyn, a cargo vessel that was swept approximately 1 kilometer inland by the storm surge of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) on November 8, 2013. The surge devastated coastal areas of Tacloban City and caused extensive loss of life in Barangay Anibong where the ship came to rest. The bow was preserved as a memorial to the victims and as a physical reminder of the typhoon's impact.

The site serves as a memorial and place of remembrance for families and communities affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan. It is a focal point for annual commemorations on November 8 and symbolizes community resilience and remembrance. Visitors observe it as a solemn memorial rather than a recreational attraction.
