This song relates the true story of the sinking of "The Ellan Vannin" 100 years ago. This sad event has recently been brought back to our attention by the anniversary.
The song was written by Hugh E. Jones of "The Spinners".

It's very good! I like this version more than by The Spinners.
This one has more reflection in it.

I remember when my sister was baptised we sang this song at the party, this was some odd 14 years ago. Great song and nicely done on it.

Hi Paul and Ken,
this is done so beautiful. Never heard this song before neither I knew the story behind. I loved this melody from the first tone. Thank you for the music in 2009. I hope you will continue uploading in 2010 as well as I will do!
All the best for the new year from Lemgo/Germany
