Wreck of the Bristol
text:
The wreck of the Bristol on Far Rockaway Beach, near New York, United States, November 21, 1836, killed 60 to 70 people. Most of the deaths were due to huge waves that broke down the ship and drowned passengers sheltering in the hold. The captain, Alexander McKown, behaved admirably, did everything he could to save the surviving souls, and was the last person to leave the wreckage. An obelisk marking the mass grave of the casualties of the wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico, stands in Rockvill
