    beachcomber australia Brilliant, do you think they're midway singing the word 'home'. :P
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes! I tried to find an accordion and voice version on YouTube, but only found it in German, where it is much more popular (originally from Nova Scotia in the 1890s).

    beachcomber australia Really? For some reason I thought it was English song. Will have to do more research on it and include it in the story of JOSEPH CONRAD. :)

    I did not know of "Rolling Home" before this reference (I have an English background as a musician), but this site with basic sheet music and words says it was the most famous homeward-bound song of them all (Stan Hugill, in 'Shanties from the Seven Seas' 1961). Like most folk songs the words get adapted by word-of-mouth etc. www.educationscotland.gov.uk/scotlandssongs/secondary/gen... "According to Hugill it was "the most famous homeward-bound shanty of all," and was popular in both English and American Ships. It is believed the shanty is based on a poem by Charles Mackay, written on board ship in 1858, but Hugill speculates that Mackay could have heard the sailors at the capstan and based his poem on the original shanty. Many collectors state the song was a forecastle song, rather than a shanty, but there are several shanty versions and Whall cites several sources which confirm it was used as a capstan shanty.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] wonderful! So rare that you get a view of the photographer. It just shows what they did to get a good photograph. Check out what Ted Hood had to do to get this view, amazing pic from State Library of New South Wales!

    This appears to be the the first rounds of the singles Davis Cup Tennis Championship Competitions, held at Double Bay in Sydney. Shown above are Anthony Wilding (Australia) playing Melville Long (America). Mr. Wilding won the match. —Barrier Miner
