Ahoy mates!

Inspired by a documentary about the Battle of Denmark Strait, Matt Scholtka wrote the lyrics to this song. While writing, he did additional research on Wikipedia. Given his 1970s musical roots, Tom Roper immediately thought "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and set it to music.

I LIKE it. I've added it to my "Songs of the Sea" song list. Have you by any chance got a link to the lyrics?
