The plaque reads as follows:
'Captain Martin T. Rowsell Poole Pilot 1971-1994.
Each petty hand
Can steer a ship becalm'd
But he that will govern
And carry her to her end
Must know gusts, storms and tempests.
When her keel ploughs hell
And deck knocks heaven
Then to manage her becomes
The name and office of a pilot'
