Schooner Fare - John Cook .wmv

Song of an infamous whaling trip which lasted 2 years, threatened mutiny, and drove a wife mad. Stuff great songs are made of! Written by Tim Rowe of Schooner Fare, this song is from their album "Closer to the Wind." It is also on "Classic Schooner Fare" from 1989. Enjoy! I have added a bit of history here, courtesy of Eugene O'Neill and Provincetown Playhouse.com. It is quite interesting: The song is about Provincetown residents Captain John Cook and his wife, Viola, and about the two-year trip she took with him to sea. It is said she went mad when he refused to return home without a full load of whale oil. Viola never traveled with him again, and was soon known in town for her newly eccentric behavior. The crew threatened to mutiny the day after their 2 year contract for the trip was up and the ship was still locked in ice. It was a horrid trip and had major consequences for all involved.
