1835
Erected
By
FRANCIS GREAT seaman
In memory of his brother
JOHN GREAT seaman
who arrived at Dundee with the
Friendship from Davis Straits
on the 4th Oct 1833 in good health
and was seized with cholera
on the 8th and died the 9th October
1833 aged 27 years
also of his father
ROBERT GREAT Seaman
who died the 10th January 1837
aged 67 years
I left the seas at Gods command,
Where oft I have been toss'd;
But now I fear not rocks nor sands,
Being on a quite safe coast.
Now here I silently doth lie,
Till Christ, my glorious head,
Once with his quick'ning voice shall cry,
and raise me from the dead.
