Thread Name: Lyr Req: Captain Strachan
Subject: Song about Captain Strachan
Does anyone have any leads on a song about a Captain Strachan (besides the Peacock Collection - Songs of the Newfoundland Outports) 1st line is "Here's a health to Captain Strachan, my boys, and his experienced men"

The gist of the song is that he and his lads board and capture a frigate out of Marseilles called the "Moselle", with the usual amount of bravado attributed to one and all. Thanks
