"Sloop John B," the Beach Boys song, is the name of a ship. That reminds me of another ship-named song, "The Riegel" by Pearls Before Swine. It's a song about a WWII prisoner ship that was sunk with something like 3000 lost.

It has a Celtic/New Age tinge. If you like the more creative Celtic/New Age, you'll love it.
Greetings,
"Ramblin' Sailor" from Advent's second album:
This 18-minute epic was actually constructed with both words and music from an old sea chantey, by the way. Also, the story in "Alison Waits (A Ghost Story)" (originally from our self-titled debut with a higher-quality recording appearing as a bonus track on our second album, Cantus Firmus) is set on the sea--with the entire end section of the piece (last verse included) taking place under water.
Cheers,
Alan
