In an earlier blog post I wrote that this event was one of my favorite in Cape May. A few years ago I encouraged Michael Troy of Falls River, Massachusetts to attend and to my surprise he did. Michael wrote a song based on the story captured in Douglas A. Campbell’s book “The Sea’s Bitter Harvest“. A tale of the thirteen days in 1999, when four commercial clam boats sank while fishing in the Atlantic.
After reading Campbell’s book and the brief lyric in the forward, I became captivated by the Michael’s song. Perhaps it was the timing of the F/V Lady Mary sinking, or my brother’s Coast Guard Service in the nineties, but I was sure “Four Boats Down” would resonate in Cape May.
I’m hoping that Michael will return next March and perhaps bring Chuck Williams to Cape May and maybe this year garner a larger stage and audience to present this chilling tale with local relevance.
