A song about the ones you love having crossed the water to the other side.

Across The Water

In Sennen Cove in the far west of Cornwall a pub barmaid reported the local smugglers to the King's guard. As punishment the community took her down below the tide line and pegged her to the beach. She drowned fighting her shackles as the tide came in and covered her.

Over a hundred years later she still haunts the pub.

The Smuggler's Wife

The north coast of Cornwall and Devon is notorious for its jagged shore and its treacherous hidden rocks. The shipwrecks were frequent and the wreckers took advantage of it. They lured ships onto the rocks to plunder their cargo. There was no pity here.

Wrecker's Ruin

On December 19, 1981, the RNLI lifeboat Solomon Browne sank whilst trying to rescue the crew of the Union Star, a coaster in distress off the coast of Cornwall. All eight lifeboat crew members and eight of the Union Star crew perished in the storm.

There were two brothers in the crew of the lifeboat, but the captain would only allow one of them aboard. He knew they were not coming back.

This song is for all souls lost at sea.
