GUEST,Phil d'Conch I give up. What's a HOGEYE? (197* d) RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE? 17 May 25


Sciencegeek: Whall can be read @ 09 Jun 20 - 03:44 AM (above.)

In all the googling, nobody, ...no-body... has located a single "hog-eye" vessel type reference in the document record. Not a California barge nor a Bahamian flat nor anything in between the deux.

'History' can always change in a New York minute but... as it stands, Whall is 1913 pop entertainment not 1850s California or maritime history.

Insult or irony to injury, the music is much better known as a fiddle tune and google will peg that a 'chantey' too.

Is nothing sacred? What's next? Bagpipers & banjos on the capstan? ;)
