This historic Block Island cemetery is traditionally associated with survivors and victims connected to the 1738 wreck of the Princess Augusta, remembered in folklore as the Palatine. The disaster later inspired stories of the Palatine Light, a flaming ghost ship said to appear offshore around the anniversary season. Historians dispute darker versions of the legend, but the cemetery remains a concrete location tied to the story. Secondary source: https://www.pbs.org/video/2-princess-augusta-jq5wjr/
