and i forgot to say...

in 1922, george allan england (the greatest hunt in the world) writes that a man by the name of sturge (also a flower's island and brookfield family!) sang lukey's boat for the rest of the crew of the ship.

and the date that gerald s doyle collected the song in twillingate was 1929, not 1940.

by the way, as my father just pointed out to me, people here probably would have pronounced his name as 'lucky'.
