Does anybody have any information on a song about the Atlantic Conveyor, the merchant navy ship which was sunk during the Falklands war? It was performed, I think, on one of the Liverpool Tall Ships programmes.
One line, if it elps, was "There'll be no more Atlantic Conveyors" and there were also references to the ship's captain, Ian North.

If thatcher hadn't murdered 323 Argentine sailors on the Belgrano. songs about the Atlantic Conveyor would not be necessary.

Ken Stephens's song "Survivor Leave" is probably the best statement about this small but brutal war.
