Inscription. From 1815 to 1834 members of the Royal Navy, along with some family members, were stationed at the Grand River Naval Depot. Early history tells of a cemetery located at the Naval Depot where graves, coffins and military buttons were found. Port Maitland was the only port on the north shore of Lake Erie where sailors could get medical treatment. It is uncertain how many burials took place here. An archaeological assessment, completed in 2012, was unable to confirm the location of the cemetery
