About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Nix's Mate is one of the smallest islands in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. In 1636 it was 12 acres and used for the grazing of sheep. The island was quarried extensively for ship ballast, which, together with natural erosion, caused the reduction of the island to a sand spit that is submerged during high tide. The island today is marked by a square granite base topped by an octogonal wooden pyramid erected by the Boston Marine Society in 1805 and which continues to serve as a federal daybeacon aid to navigation. Located between Nubble Channel and the Narrows, it is listed on the Nathioanl Register. At least three pirates were hung in chains on the island after their execution and their later buried there. The site is not open to the public.
