| Summary: | Song regarding the loss of the "Cape Royal", a trawler bound from Newfoundland for St. Mary's town. When they did not arrive in dock, the Search and Rescue services sent out a party. Eventually, a lifeboat was found, overturned, but no survivors. The song ends with a plea to the audience to remember all sailors, and especially the crew of the Cape Royal, in their prayers. Written by the singer, Pat Green, in 1977, soon after the events it describes. |
