Just another Dave	when was the Bonny ship the diamond lost (45)	RE: when was the Bonny ship the diamond lost	12 Mar 02
I don't remember where I got the info ... but I suppose I can get back to it if need be... but The Diamond, the Resolution, and the Eliza Swan were all lost in the winter of 1830 in the ice of Melville Bay, Greenland. In total twenty-five ships from the British whaling fleet were lost. As long as we are on the subject... does anyone know if this song was collected before the twentieth century? I know of the fragment quoted in "Moby Dick", but I've never seen the entire song printed (collected) prior to songbook inclusions in the late twentieth century. Dave
