Here is the place of the Original Cemetery. It was created to bury victims from the desease-plagued vessel Ticonderoga in 1852. As it was close to the Quarantine Station the cemetery was relocated to Point Nepean Cemetery. A hundred people are buried. To commemorate them a single burial moment was erected Heaton's Monument. It was built in 1856-1858 in a rare Victorian Egyptian architectural style.------------- Это место Первоначальное кладбище, где хоронили жертв болезни с корабля Ticonderoga. Кладбище основано в 1852 году, похоронено 100 человек. Из-за близости к Карантинной Станции, кладбище перенесли. На месте захоронения построен Монумент Heaton в редком Викторианско-Египетском архитектурном стиле.
Folklore suggests that Heaton built the monument as a memorial to the victims of the Ticonderoga, a ship which lost 168 of its passengers to typhus and scarlet fever, and the first vessel to be quarantined at Point Nepean. Regardless of the true intention of the monument, it marks the site of the original quarantine station cemetery, where some 100 persons were buried including 70 from the "Ticonderoga".
