I took my info' regarding Andrew Rose from the sleeve notes of Jim Mageean's recording. It was from an excerpt of "The Times", September 1857.

It is intriguing to note that the "Fieldvole notes on Tony Hall's record (See GUEST:Folkmonster), that the two mates were not punished.

Anyway it was interesting to discover so much more about this shocking episode from the notes here. Particularly the interest on the American side of the Atlantic. Thanks guys for enlightening me.

By the way do any of you possess Jim Mageean's recording "Of Ships...And Men"? It's on the 'Greenwich Village' label which is probably deleted now.
