This is a monument which was dedicated by the crew of the steamer S.S. Grosser Kurfurst 3 years after the fire. It is located directly in front of the large plaque of names at the mass grave at Flower Hill Cemetery. The plaque is chiseled in German and is very hard to read now due to its age and weathering, but what I have been able to read says: "In remembrance, The 3rd year recognize ? in the fire ? ? from the ? personnel of the S.S. Grosser Kurfurst, July, 1903." If anybody else can read some of the missing parts of this, it would be great to hear from you.
