George Alfred Tribe, RNR drowned off Cape Horn on his 20th birthday - 20 June 1891. Today, his grave is in danger of being drowned by this bush. I am really surprised it has not been cleared!

What a wonderful image. Yet somehow the insidious ivy tells its own story; keep it at bay, for it tells its own tale of 'antiquity' and time, and is more pertinent than a scrupulously scrubbed gravestone.
An illustrated look at the World of Graveyards and Cemeteries. There are many Stories behind the Stones that Stand in them. Who knows what we might find?

Beautiful yet sad.
Interesting how it says "Who was drowned" and not "Who drowned"...
Can't help but wonder if there was foul play involved ?
I like it just as is, with the hungry growth of bushes around it...
