1
Research sometimes turns up more than just a lot of information. Bruce Kemp,
2
A freelance photographer, supplied Stan with a true life story. There really is
3
A wonderful, crazy man in Windsor who has raised the Blue Dolphin from the
4
Harbour mud. She is the sister ship of the Bluenose, about 20 ft. Shorter and
5
Somewhat deeper and heavier in the keel. She saw service as a pleasure craft,
6
A research ship and then as a sub tracker in W. W. Ii. Attempts are being made
7
To restore her and put her on display as a museum. Support for this venture
8
Can be sent to Bruce Kemp, 60 Shanly St., Toronto Ontario M6h 1S5]
9
It was just like him. He had to pick
10
A boat gone from dowdy to derelict
11
In half a dozen years
12
Of searching for an owner
13
She may have lost her heart in the harbour mud,
14
But she really caught his at the flood;
15
And he wonders how she knew
16
That she was waiting for a loner.
17
Blue Dolphin, built by the Rhuland men,
18
She's lying on the bottom again
19
With only him to care
20
That Bluenose had a sister.
21
He lost the house and he sold the car.
22
His wife walked out; so he hit the bars
23
And hit up every friend
24
To raise the Blue Dolphin
25
And even afloat she's a hole in the water where his money goes.
26
Every dollar goes
27
And it's driving him crazy.
28
He pounds his fists white on the dock in the night
29
And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
30
And licks the blood away.
31
And he's gonna raise the Dolphin.
32
Blue Dolphin's lying like a wounded whale.
33
She's hungry for a scrap of a sail
34
To get her underway
35
Back to salt water.
36
Now there's a man lying spent in the winter sun.
37
He wonders what the hell he has done
38
And who would ever pay
39
To save his schooner daughter.
40
For even afloat she's a hole in the water where his money goes.
41
Every dollar goes
42
And it's driving him crazy.
43
He pounds his fists white on the dock in the night
44
And cries, "I'm gonna win!"
45
And licks the blood away.
46
And he's gonna raise the Dolphin
