“The Sinking of the Newfoundland”
Description
"We have bred many sailors bold, Brave captains by the score, And ranking with the best of them Is Captain John Blackmore." After a long career of sailing and shipbuilding, he retires, can't stand it, builds the Newfoundland -- and sails her into a wreck
Notes
Despite both being about the wreck of a ship named _Newfoundland_, this has nothing to do with the various songs about the "Newfoundland Disaster"; that _Newfoundland_ was commanded by Captain Kean. - RBW
