点评:Meaningful monument dedicated to the lost souls of the 1935 Hurricane, and containing a crypt with skeletal remains and cremains. We were glad we paused to pay our respects, contemplating the harrowing experience and carnage the hurricane left in its wake. Worth studying the well-done placards. We read the book Last Train to Paradise which is also a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Keys and goes into great detail about the hurricane and the prior building of the railroad. There’s a great website that has historical info and links (but TA would not allow me to post its name so just Google historical markers in the keys and hopefully you can find it), and we also paid our respects (based on that website author’s helpful notes) at the nearby Pioneer Cemetery which has some original settlers buried right on the beach. It’s registered as a National historic marker so even though you have to walk through the Cheeca resort grounds (and see how the 1% live!), you are able to visit the very small cemetery and reflect. Google maps shows you how to walk through the parking lots and stay to the right, making the almost last left. At the entry to cheeca, you can stay to the left on the pedestrian path.
翻译:这座纪念碑意义深远,专门纪念 1935 年飓风中逝去的灵魂,里面有一个墓穴,里面埋葬着遗骸和骨灰。我们很高兴停下来表达我们的敬意,沉思着飓风过后留下的悲惨经历和屠杀。值得研究制作精良的标语牌。我们读了《开往天堂的末班列车》这本书,这也是一个了解佛罗里达群岛的好方法,书中详细介绍了飓风和之前的铁路建设。有一个很棒的网站,里面有历史信息和链接(但 TA 不允许我发布它的名字,所以只能在谷歌上搜索佛罗里达群岛的历史标记,希望你能找到它),我们还在附近的先锋公墓表达了敬意(根据该网站作者的帮助说明),那里埋葬了一些最初的定居者。它已被注册为国家历史标志,因此即使您必须穿过 Cheeca 度假村场地(看看 1% 的人是如何生活的!),您也可以参观这个非常小的墓地并进行反思。谷歌地图会告诉您如何穿过停车场并靠右行驶,几乎是最后一次左转。在 Cheeca 的入口处,您可以沿着人行道靠左行驶。
