The memorial stone to David Bartleman, dated 1781, is located west of the Church of St Nicholas in Great Yarmouth. It is made of limestone and features a rectangular shape with a shaped top and side scrolls. The inscription is notable for its rare details regarding an English pirate attack. It reads: "To the memory of David Bartleman, Master of the Brig Alexander and Margaret of North Shields, who on the 31st of Jan 1781 on the Norfolk Coast, with only three 3 pounders and ten Men and Boys, Nobly Defended Himself Against a Cutter carrying eighteen 4 pounders and upwards of a Hundred Men, Commanded by the notorious English Pirate Fall. And fairly beat him off. Two hours after the enemy came down upon him again. When totally disabled His mate Daniel MacAuley, Expiring with the loss of blood, and himself dangerously wounded, He was obliged to Strike and ransom.
