Common Grave of the Crissie Wright - January 11, 1886

"Cold as the the night the "Crissie Wright" went ashore" is still heard around Beaufort. The sailors who froze to death after the wreck of that ship in January, 1886 are buried together in this grave. It is said this tragedy led to the establishment of the Cape Lookout Lifesaving Station in 1887.
