The take
Ocean City has no cemeteries — which makes this lone 1799 tombstone on Captain's Hill the strangest landmark in town. Capt. William Carhart, a Philadelphia sea captain, was 38 when his ship wrecked; his marker has outlasted everything around it by two centuries. It stands in a residential neighborhood today, so visit quietly and respectfully.
