JohnDun Lyr ADD: Penlee Lifeboat Disaster- and others (23) Lyr Req: Penlee lifeboat disaster 21 Oct 08


I have been asked to perform at a RNLI charity event and am looking for the lyrics to a song I heard about 25 years ago.

I was living in Grimsby at the time and a guy called Rob van Sante composed a tune to a local writers poem about the Penlee lifeboat disaster. I'm pretty sure I can remember the tune, but the lyrics...

The chorus started...

There's wreckage in Lamorna Cove that bears? the Solomon Brown(crown?)
All of them perished on that night as the Penlee boat went down

Maybe some of the older Grimsby folksters can help - Many Thanks

John Stevens
