The rolling waves

From a cemetery in Searsport, ME:

In memory of Capt. John P. Pendleton
who was lost at sea
Probably on Georges Shoales
together with all his crew
Dec. 2, 1817 E. 40 yrs. + 8 mos.
He died upon the rolling wave
Far from his native shore
No friendship's tear bedews his grave
Though friends his loss deplore.
