Question for:

What U.S. state contains a cemetery that is leased to England in perpetuity? The land is located in a town called Ocracoke and is the location of the cemetery and memorial to the HMT Befordshire, an English naval ship that patrolled the coastal waters during WWII. The ship was sunk by a German U-Boat, killing all 37 men. Four bodies washed up on shore and the cemetery is leased in perpetuity to the British so the men can remain on their home soil.
