How well do you know Green-Wood? Here’s a two-part test: 1️⃣ where can these repeating rows be found and, 2️⃣ what are they? A hint: they’re associated with one of the Cemetery’s most atmospheric destinations. 📸 @courtneyfitz711 #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery

It was 89 years ago today—September 8, 1934—when an oar from the S.S. Morro Castle, a great luxury passenger ship, caught fire. Before the fire could be quelled, the ship ran aground, just feet from the Asbury Park beach (seen here). In all, 135 of the 549 people aboard the ship were lost, including the captain, Robert Willmott (a Green-Wood permanent resident). In fact, Captain Willmott died just hours before the fire was detected, prompting some to argue that he was murdered and the fire was an attempt to cover up that crime. #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery
