Well I must say I enjoyed myself. I am looking around at the info on THE HARP WITHOUT THE CROWN. Joe Heaney says the name of the boat was the Dennis O'Brien. The harp without the crown was the flag it flew. I'd like to know about any books on the subject since Naemanson and others affirmed that the boat was built in Bath.

I am going to try to learn at least one shanty for the next one. I wasnt to see if anyone can prove I was just making up the words to that song about poor ol' Mrs. Clougherty dying all by herself away from her own people and not even having a proper wake because the wind was blowing for three days.
