A grave marker in the Beaufort Burying Ground indicates the mass grave of men who died in the January 11, 1886 shipwreck of the Crissie Wright. Shield-shaped grave marker reads “Chrissie Wright, common grave, January 11 1886″ under an outline of a fish. Next to the grave is a smaller marker with the number 20 on it, referencing the entry for this grave in a self-guided tour pamphlet.
