The Martin
01/11/11 - FtLd


The Martin was blackened by steel
20,000 tons from top deck to keel
Her holds were laden and sealed
To take care

They left from the port of Nanglay
Bound for ten calls in forty-nine days
With a crew of fourteen and a cargo
For which they would slave

They rounded the horn in the junes
The storms lifted and spooned
Turn round to starboard
And breached by the crest of a gail

They clamored and clung to the rails
The bell tolled out the score
The breach measured forty or more
On the swail

They turned back the screws on the nine
Let the block and the tackle go blind
Swing out the oars and call time
If you dare

And the hatches were battened and sealed
But the bulwarks gave way to the keel
And she lifted and buckled mid-steel
On the line

And the fires below burn no more
And the shovels all lay on the floor
As her coal dust washed upon shore
Everywhere

The Martin was blackened by steel
20,000 tons from top deck to keel
It was nineteen-o-ten
And her crew has not left her
Since then
