It was my Grandfather, Edmund Henneberry, who first put the Wallace poem to music sometime shortly after it was published. Incidently, he always sang the last line in the 2nd verse " as we out past Cape Elizabeth" rather than "passed out".

I am in the process of arranging several of my Grandfather's songs which we will be going into the studio to record later this year with guitar, bass, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and bodhran accompaniment (including Mary L. MacKay).

Miller's Jug did an excellent version of Mary L. MacKay in the 1990's. Very lively and able to put you right there on the deck of the Effie Morrisey.

Cheers,
Al.
