Transcript

'Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Macnamara Russel [sic] Esq. Admiral of the White, late Commander in Chief in the North Seas. He actively served his country 70 years with ardour, bravery and ability and combated her enemes in 36 Engagements. His successful blockade of the Texel during the threatened invasion of our shores was conducted in a new and admirable system of his own. He was the first who ever dared to anchor a fleet there in the strongest gales of a northern winter, and an enemy's lee-shore. Heligoland surrendered to him, by which he secured invaluable advantages to his country. The magnanimous, intrepid and generous heart of a British seaman was united in his with the urbanity of a courtier. He departed this life on the 22nd day of July 1824 in his 85th year.
