[ 33 ] Ship Jason Memorial

Turn right just beyond cemetery gate, then left;
Memorial is on hill behind crypt.

Dedicated on July 11, 1976 by the Wellfleet Bicentennial Committee, the Wellfleet Historical Society, and the Rich Family Association, this memorial honors the memory of sixteen English Sailors lost in the wreck of the British ship Jason; as well as the heroic service of the Pamet River Life Saving Crew in saving Samuel Evans, the one man who survived that terrible winter storm off the back shore in 1893.
