Description
Three unknown sailors, "known only to God", are buried here. Their bodies washed up on the beach after a storm on April 26th, 1865. The previous day, the men had rowed ashore from a vessel anchored far beyond the surf. They wanted to load up with fresh water, and met a local man, a Mr. Hobson, while filling their casks. Hobson watched them row out into the teeth of the storm and lit a fire to guide them back. They were found on the beach the next day.
Now, local residents help to maintain the grave where Hobson buried these three unknown souls.
