Hi folks!
Sometime ago I came into this tale about a sailor that was swallowed by a whale and was rescued alive from the belly of the animal some thirty six hours later. The episode was alleged to take place off the coast of Falklands/ Malvinas Islands. I wonder if there are any songs concerning whalehunts in that part of the world.
Many Thanks!

I only know that story from a few centuries further back, I'm afraid. True story, though - the fellow was called Jonah! :-)

In the DT take a peek at "Paddy & the Whale". True story, well at least up to slipping down the blowhole, wasn't an unheard accident. Barry
