As promised here's a link to the current slightly revised lyrics and a MP3 sample of how I sing this song: Click here!

I was thinking this song would be too long but I rattled it off in about three and a half minutes. There are some phrases that will sound better with more practice but I'm reasonably pleased with the song. It's one of those songs that "fills a gap" in the musical record of Midcoast Maine. At least I haven't found an old song yet that does the same thing, just a couple of poems which pay tribute to particular boats and their crews.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
