Unknown sailor's grave on St Agnes.

The remains of a pile of rocks that mark a sailor's grave, just above the foreshore somewhere on St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly. The rocky headland slopes down the sea, leading the eye to the rocks on the distant horizon. This is very similar to G14339, but a piece of timber/planking has been placed in the middle distance behind the rocks marking the grave.

The reverse of the negative states in pencil 'Sailor's Grave St Agnes'.
