Thanks, Metchosin. Bacalhou, properly prepared (several changes of water to remove the salt) is quite tasty; I was not aware of the lighthouse.

Encyclopedia of Music in Canada, note by Edith Fowke:
""Jack Was Every Inch a Sailor." A re-telling of the Jonah story with a NFLD. fisherman as the hero. It seems to have been adapted from a New York music-hall song "Every Inch a Sailor." The U. S. folklorist Phillips Barry noted that it is a localized version of the words (not the tune) of the original burlesque of "Pinafore," as sung by Miss. Venie Clancy and printed in White's "Complete Music Album," Boston, 1884..."
Also published by Greenleaf and Mansfield, 1933, "Ballads and Sea Songs of Newfoundland." (Reprinted 2004, Memorial University of Newfoundland," pp. 252-253, with music).

Notes by Greenleaf and Mansfield in a note say "Every Inch a Sailor" was written and composed by John Read (music different from the Newfoundland air): "The Celebrated Original and Only Madame Rentz's Songster," New York, copyright 1880, pp. 16-17.
