Sink them down (Maritime Ballad)

I wrote this for a small work task on-board ship. It was used in 2005 on the The Star of India, for a main mast sail demo they were doing. It was a honor to have the song used on a historic ship like that!

The background for this original song is based on the crew of the Alabama in 1862, American Civil War. The bottom line is that it would be a good team builder for the gunners if anything.

The song, "Sink them Down" can be found on the bands 12th CD album, "Into the Arms of the Sea" www.blackirish.com or CD-Baby
