RE: Building a Mystery
1970 classic about a ship of 73 men sailing off into history
Not familiar with this one but my immediate reaction was of the boat crew that was struck by a whale and sunk. The real-life story was what inspired the book "Moby Dick". I read it recently but since I have very selective memory I don't remember the name of it .... hold on... It was a ship called the "Essex" and while they didn't ever go and hunt the whale, it did kill nearly everyone involved in the sinking of the ship far off the coast of South America back in 1820. It's kind of lame to find out that the song is about a piano..haha

Haha, yeah. I was kind of suprised to learn that all of these songs were purely fictional. Some of the places actually exist, but the events were made up. I never ready Moby Dick, but I did read Bartleby the Scrivener in school.
