Captain Hook's Tomb

The Adventure…

Captain Isaac Newton Hook (1819-1906) who lived along the Muskingum, and who operated on it most of his career, decided to build his own tomb here in Morgan County. The tomb was built with a small platform on top where he had a boat sitting, to take him away in case of a flood. There was indeed a flood, which took the boat away. Whether or not he was in it, is anyone's guess. Come and see this legend just north of Stockport along the river on St. Rt. 376.
