(20)  "Crissie Wright" Common Grave - "Cold as 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.
