The Pirate Graveyard of Portland

The so-called "pirate graveyard" in Portland, Dorset, England is actually the graveyard of St Andrew's Church, which was destroyed by fire in 1665. The churchyard is located on the edge of Church Ope Cove, and it is said that some of the headstones and table tombs have skulls and crossbones carved on them, which has led to the legend that it is the final resting place of pirates. However, there is no evidence to support this claim, and it is more likely that the skull and crossbones were simply a common symbol of death at the time.

The graveyard is a popular tourist destination, and it is said to be haunted by the ghosts of pirates. There are also a number of other legends associated with the graveyard, including the story of a pirate who was buried alive, and the story of a young woman who was killed by a pirate.
