Norsk bokmål:

Svend Foyn
født i Tønsberg den 9de Juli 1809, død paa
Gaarden Ramdal ved Tbg. 29de Nvbr. -94 Kl11 ½ Aften

Svend Foyn begyndte sit Sømandsliv 1820,

1844 foer han første Gang til Ishavet efter
Sælfangst. Ved sit Mod og Energi skabte han
en for vort Land stor Bedrift især for Tønsberg og Omegn.

I 1864 begyndte Svend Foyn Hvalfangst paa

Finmarkens Kyster, og var den første, der kunde
fange og dræbe de største Hvaler i eet Skud.

Saavel Sæl som Hvalfangst var før ukjendt i Norge, i

saa stor Udstrækning som Svend Foyn bragte det til.

For den store Fortjeneste af disse Næringsveies

Udvikling, blev Svend Foyn Ridder af St. Olafs
 Orden, derefter Commandør, og 4de''November 1893
tildeltes han Storkorset af St. Olafs Orden.

Ære være og velsignet være:
„Svend Foyns Minde.”
