And the gales of November remember...

Or something like that; from memory. What a haunting song about a haunting event.

As I have probably mentioned before in this space, an uncle of mine was a cook on the "iron boats" (although long retired by the time of the EF disaster).

Phil Miller provides a video setting of the song complete with onboard footage of Fitzgerald or one of the other Oglebay boats in heavy weather, and the names of the crew, should viewers want to drink the 29 toasts.
