Carbonear Shipwreck Victims - 1874

"A couple of years ago, I was doing some fieldwork on Anticosti Island (Quebec)  and I came across a grave which was of some shipwreck victims.  At the time, I thought it was interesting and took a photo of it." Gail Radcliffe - London, Eng.

	The headstone reads: In  memory of  Captain John Edgar Joyce of  Carbonear, Newfoundland aged 27 years  and crew  of Brigantine Orient lost 22nd November 1874  who are buried as follows: Joseph Taylor (25 years) Stewart Taylor (17) Thomas Fitzpatrick (13?) William Clark (21) Charles Henry (36) Ambrose Forward (20) Richard Taylor (19?)
Note: This headstone is not in a cemetery or near a church or even a town.  It is located in a field not far from the beach on the south side of the island of Anticosti in the mouth of the St. Lawrence River (Quebec).
