Plaque :
The Fisherman`s Prayer
God grant that I may live to fish When nestled in your landing net
For another shining day As I lay peacefully asleep
But when my final cast is made You`ll smile at me and judge
I then most humbly pray. That I`m to good to keep
In loving memory of those we have lost to the sea
