May you always return safely to shore

[@GreenTigger22]

Yes thank you!!! This was on a sea shanty CD I would listen to as kid and I’ve been looking for it- thank you!

[@pilotboy1985]

I just shared this with my father who used to work on the Henry Goodrich. He really enjoyed the song. :)

[@mcpeanutful]

I think this song came from the classic sea song "Sailors Alphabet".

[@krumbolt1]

[@kaguesna]

h is funny :)

[@DogDamour]

sorry, ain't icebergs in the gulf of mexico...

[@colomon2]

Yes, but if you'll listen to the lyrics you'll hear the line "G for the Grand Banks just off Newfoundland", which is the neighborhood where the oil rigs that inspired this song are located. (Though not all pictures in the fan-video here are from there.) They most definitely do get icebergs.

Like the gulf is the only place they drill offshore.......🤣

[@mrtyles]

too bad about the BP oil spill. sort of ruined the song.
