Plaque Wording: Mydiddee A native of Tahiti. Sailed to England with Captain William Bligh in HMS Providence. Died in Deptford, 4th September 1793.
Stranger with solemn step approach and know, A fav'rite son of nature sleeps below. From that fam'd queen of southern isles he came, fair Otahytey, fir'd by British fame: And Providence each deep safe wafted o'er, Yet only gave to hail the promis'd shore; For here could life alas! no more supply, Than just to look around him and to die.
Edward Harwood, surgeon of the Providence.
