The cemetery near the church of Our Lady of Karmen above Orebic, the final resting place of Peljesac-born captains, offers a beautiful view on the island and the town of Korcula, as well as on numerous islets in the Peljesac Channel. Below the Franciscan monastery and the church is a forest of cypress, protected as a -forest park. The ships passing through the Peljesac Channel sound their sirens to greet the church of their patron saint and the resting place of deceased captains, and are replied by sounding of the monastery bells.

Chris, not only an interesting but beautiful image as well. The narrative is also very interesting. As a retired seaman I have to ask your attention for a minor detail: with all my respect for sailors I have to say that a captain is not a sailor but a seaman. On the other hand: sailors are seamen as well (confusing, isn't it?). If on this cemetry only captains are burried, to me, it's better to speak of 'Seamen's rest'. Regards, Cornelius

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
I only wished that most naratives where as detailed as here Chris !
The image show dignaty, and a great outlook from the cematary.
the color is a bit hard, but that may be caused by my monitor settings.
As it where, thanks for this informative posting of the Adriatic Sea.
