Les from Hull | Origins: The Flying Cloud (86* d) | RE: Origins: The Flying Cloud | 29 Sep 17 |
There was never an HMS Diogenes. I don't think that anyone has ever discovered any historical basis for this excellent ballad. As recorded in this thread there are many details that don't stand up to scrutiny. Certainly a thousand ton eighteen knot barque wound be an unusual slave ship in any period. Sing what you like or what you've 'collected'! |
