---

Illustration from Pictorial chronicles of the mighty deep circa 1887. Illustration inspired by the Scottish sea song by Allan Cunningham, A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea A Wet sheet and a flowing sea, A wind that follows fast And fills the white and rustling sail And bends the gallant mast; And bends the gallant mast, my boys, While like the eagle free - Away the good ship flies, and leaves Old England on the lee.
