Sailor Ron!

I'm astonished to see that a Houlder Lines ship, the 'Royston Grange' is listed amongst your Shaw Swivel songs. I sailed and had some 'fun' times on her sister, the 'Hardwicke Grange', running down and up the east South American coast, culminating at Buenos Aires. I presume that the song is about the 'Royston's' sad demise? I did once visit the memorial to most of her crew in a graveyard in Montevedeo.
