Join Abney Unearthed for this brand new tour based on research into the 200,000+ people buried in the cemetery.  Hear the stories of those who lost their lives at sea who are either buried at Abney Park, or commemorated on a family grave.  The subjects of this tour include seafarers lost on various oceans, families lost in shipping and ferry disasters, ship’s surgeons and a naval captain posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.
