A memorial to the lost crew of the Chilean scooner WJ Pirrie, which sank in November 1920 during a brutal storm. Only 2 of the ship's crew of 20 made it to shore alive, and they died shortly after being rescued by members of the local tribe. This site memorializes where they were initially buried. This quiet cove is also home to harbor seals and otters and is a popular site to camp. Backcountry permits and reservations are required during the summer.
