The track was written about the worst peactime disaster in British coastal waters this century. In 1919, a ship returning to the Stornoway harbour a couple of hours into the New Year with troops returning from the war (most of whom couldn't swim), sadly hit some rocks during a terrible storm and sank just yards from the pier. Particularly horrific as their loved ones, many of whom they hadn't seen in years, were standing helpless as they watched them drown.
