Here's some enthusiasm from Rudy Sunde, recently retired from the Maritime Crew in New Zealand, for this song:

I like your "Old Tea Clipper Days" - it romps along nicely. As you will
know, I am no longer in The Maritime Crew - age has suddenly crept up on me
- but I will pass the song along to the Crew and hopefully they may take it
up. Not only are the words of interest but the tune is good and being a New
Zealand author it may inspire them to sing it.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
