G'day Chantymen,
A couple of years back, I discovered where my love of chanty and whaling history came from. It's 'in me blood'! G-g-g'dad, James Hindsley Bromley was part of the infamous 'Enderby Settlement' on the Auckland Islands (1849-52).
Does anyone have songs that reference 'Enderby & Co', or the Auckland Islands?
Hope you can help me compile my fumbly fambly heritage - from a song-wise viewpoint.
In the true Enderby spirit, I have poured another spirit!
Slainte - Sam
PS - the above discovery sorta explains my absence from Mudcat.
