    35 years ago today.

    It defies belief that earlier this year, somebody stole the RNLI Gold medal, awarded posthumously to Trevelyan Richards, coxwain of the Solomon Browne.

    Sunday morning
    There's a cold wind
    Down by the Tatterdoo
    Rocks are scarred with blue

    No one saw her
    Like a seabird
    Fly high the crested waves
    Saw her fall from grace

    Solomon Brown
    Solomon Brown
    Facing the storm alone
    Losing your way home

    Can you hear me?
    There's a cruel sea
    God knows how hard we tried
    Save us from this night

    Solomon Brown
    Solomon Brown
    Facing the storm alone
    Losing your way home

    Sunday morning
    There's a cold wind
    Down by the Tatterdoo
    Rocks are scarred with blue

    Solomon Brown
    Solomon Brown
    Facing the storm alone
    Losing your way...

    It's a sad Christmas story, but as it is in the spirit of the season and they not should be forgotten, here a song about the Schooner Rouse Simmons and her "Captain Santa" and his crew, who always gave away some Christmas trees to needy families till 1911, as the ship went down on their 1912 Christmas voyage . . :(
