GUEST,Michael Burton windhugger@yahoo.ca Canadian disaster songs: research project (112* d) RE: Canadian disaster songs:research project 23 Jun 06


The Ocean Ranger certainly figures prominently as one of Canada's songworthy disasters, for sure.

My friend Kevin Firth, a singer songwriter originally from Manchester UK, worked as a diver recovering remains, personal effects, etc. from the Ocean Ranger. He has written a very compelling song about the tragedy that probably can't be touched by the average armchair historical bard. He recorded it on a CD project a few years back. Some of his crewmates also died in the salvage operation.

I will hunt down the CD and post lyric / link if interested.
