TO THE MEMORY OF

Captn CHARLES JOHN MOORE MANSFIELD

ROYAL NAVY

Who during a Period of forty years arduous Service established the

Character of an Honorable, and Gallant Officer.

In the Year 1792 he was made Commander and soon afterwards

raised to the Rank of

POST CAPTAIN.

While commanding the Andromache he was attacked by an Algerine Frigate

under Spanish Colors, which he captured after

a long and desperate engagement.

For many years he commanded the Minotaur, and had the Honor of

capturing the El Neptuno, a Spanish 80 Gun Ship,

in the ever memorable Engagement of

TRAFALGAR.

Soon after this Period, worn down by fatigue, he retired into the bosom

of his Family, and, after a long and afflicting illness,

calmly resigned his Soul into the hands of his Maker

on the 23rd day of April 1813. Aged 52 Years.
