Clan Ranald Mass Grave
At Edithburgh Cemetery you'll find what is believed to be the largest mass grave in Australia. When the turret steamer Clan Ranald (http://www.environment.sa...) was shipwrecked off Edithburgh in 1909, 40 of the 64 men on board lost their lives. The bodies of 5 British officers and 31 Lascar Filipino & Indian seamen were recovered and buried at the Edithburgh Cemetery. The 31 Lascar seamen were buried in one large grave which was previously marked as ânames unknownâ until the 100th anniversary when a plaque was unveiled listed the name of each seaman (http://www.ypct.com.au/in...). The grave of the Lascar seaman is believed to be the largest mass grave in Australia.
