You are all absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so very much. I hope to include a short article about the song in our newsletter, "Dorymates", and eventually have a small display about traditional songs.

Our website is http://fisheries.museum.gov.ns.ca and my blog (not as regular as the title "Daily Blog" suggests), is http://www.fisheries-museum.blogspot.com/

I may do a short piece about the vessel Kandahar, based on the song and the local belief that three "a's" in a name brought good luck.

On a personal note, I'm glad to have the identification of Captain Frank Risser confirmed. It would have looked quite selfish, on my part, if the singer had been Frank M. Risser ~ he was my father!
