I am intrigued by the "Wreck of the Ellen Munn" as recorded by Louis Killen and would appreciate it if anyone could give me some background information relating to the song.

Hello, George. I too was intrigued by Killen's Wreck of the Ellen Munn, and I asked about it last November. You can find my thread by clicking here. Not many posts, but interesting. It seems that a lot of songs are written about real events, and then adapted and rewritten...... I wonder if that is the case here? Margo
