Love it!!! Raised on Staten Island and very into the history of it, I didn't even know we had a song. Great job!

Also with the Battle of Brooklyn the Marblehead fisherman under the command of John Glover saved Washington's troops and brought them to Staten Island. (Popular tune on the north shore of Boston because of it ) I have heard. ( I also heard there was a Staten Island off of Scotland . SO many great stories . Im shore they all are true !!! I did a version on clawhammer banjo if you want to have a listen . All the best , Guy

No one knows which Staten Island it refers to. Don't forget that Staten Island, NY was a major base for the British troops during the Revolution, so an equally valid theory is that the tune originated here during that time.

I'm gonna presume you're on the Staten Island ferry . . .very nice indeed.
Of course this tune refers to the Staten Island off the coast of South America. During sailing days if the island was spotted you could be sure you'd make it around cape horn. Or so they say.
Very nicely played, in any case. Thanks for posting it.

Yeah thats the Staten Island ferry, cant quite make out the Statue of Liberty at this resolution...
Thanks for the info about the tune, I did not know where it was from. Also thanks for the video of the Lost Hiker. Very pretty and haunting tune.
