About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is the final resting place of those who were lost in the wreck of the ss Ly-ee-Moon, a steamer bound from Melbourne to Sydney, which wrecked off the shore of Green Cape Lighthouse on May 30th 1886. Shortly after striking the reef around 9:30pm, the ship broke in two with heavy seas pounding the wreck and preventing rescue of those on the stern section. With the aid of the lightkeepers, 15 persons of the 86 on board were saved from the forward section of the vessel.
