While there are no known records that verify the exact history of this small gravesite, it is believed to be the burial site of 3 sailors that had come ashore on April 24, 1865 in the search of fresh water, then returned to their ship before dark to continue their journey, only to be killed in very rough waters and wind that night. The account continues that their bodies washed ashore the next day and were buried just above the high tide line on the beach, where this memorial is now.
The name(s) of the person(s) buried here remain a mystery.
