There is a pretty little beach here which was allowed to be used only by First Class passengers for relaxation and fishing. There is a drain on the beach just near the wharf out of which flowed the body fluids from the morgue and the runoff water from the cemetry. Maybe 2nd and 3rd class passengers were lucky!
