Thread Name: Songs about boats, No disasters!
Subject: Songs about boats, No disasters!
A previous thread (Don't do X with Y - Mousethief) Got me to thinking. Someone said that all of the interesting songs about boats involve a disaster. Surely there are lots of them. (Edmond Fitzgerald, The Irish rover etc.) But are there good one which don't involve disaster? Christian Island (G. Lightfoot), Southern Cross (S. Stills), Old Polina and Lukey's boat (Nfld. Trad) all come to mind. Are there others? What are your favourites?
