Thread Name: Songs from: Captains Courageous
Subject: Captains Courageous
I'm still looking for sources for the songs cited in Kipling's novel. I have, of course, the Dreadnought, Wheat-in-the-Ear (Weevily Wheat) and the Song of the Fishes (Windy Old Weather). I'm still looking for a song mentioning "Double Thatcher" (a Gloucester landmark?) and "twixt 'Queereau and Grand" (fishing grounds I presume). There are also several French (Canadian)tunes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
