Wreck of the Ten Sail is the island’s most famous shipwreck. In 1794, 10 British Royal Navy ships ran aground on the reef at night in East End. It is said that King George III granted the islands tax-free status as a reward for the heroic rescue efforts of the locals (although no records exist of this royal decree). A monument and park in East End marks the site.
