G'day,
Trivia: The Governor Bligh was named after Governor Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame.

The Davy Lowston story was true as Barry said. It was quite a story in the Sydney newspapers at the time, I think David Lowston sued the company for not providing a better means of rescue, with the publicity probably leading to the writing of the song.

Cheers,
Alan
