2. Plaque on the west side of the Boulder

In remembrance of the self-reliant
men and women of our early seaports
whose courage, devotion and hardy industry
set an example of useful achievement
unsurpassed in history
Mr.and Mrs. Frederick F. Brewster
contributed to the establishment here of
Mystic Seaport
To testify in years to come
that a people inspired under God
with a sturdy sense of individual worth
and personal responsibility
may work out their destiny
unaided and unafraid
”Stout hearts make a safe ship”
