The article offers information on the song "Newfoundland Sealers," by Bill Gallaher. Gallaher wrote the song in 1987, inspired by the book "Death on the Ice," by Cassie Brown, that was based on the tragedy that befell more than 100 men who were left stranded by the sealer "Newfoundland" in 1914. Gallaher shares that he was aware of other songs written on the tragedy, but believed that his song spoke of the truth of the matter.
