“Capt. Frederick Harris and the Grates Cove Seal Killers of 1915”

Description

"Attention all, both great and small, A tale I have to tell Of Captain Frederick Harris And young Florizel." The singer lists various seal hunters, tells of the beginning of their voyage, and wishes them success

Notes

From internal indications, it appears that the _Florizel_ of this song is not the passenger ship described in "The Wreck of the Steamship Florizel." - RBW
