Wrecked Vessels

Tonight while working on a totally unrelated topic to genealogy, I stumbled on this memorial stone, which lists some wrecked vessels off the coast of Block Island, Rhode Island.

Another wrecked vessel memorial is to be found on the island of Vatersay at the southern end of the Outer Hebrides (now the most southerly occupied island in the Western Isles).

Annie Jane memorial wrote:On 28th Sept 1853 the ship Annie Jane with emigrants from Liverpool to Quebec was totally wrecked in this bay and threefourths if the crew and passengers numbering about 350 men women and children were drowned and their bodies interred here.
