Never heard anyone sing the "Captain Thompson" verse - is it widely done? That verse occurs in some broadside versions, identifying some of the skippers involved in the various search expeditions. The only recording I've heard which includes it is by Paul Clayton. The names vary, inevitably. My own version is: "There's Captain Osborne of Scarborough town Brave Parry and Winslow of high renown There's Captain Ross and so many more In vain they've searched round the Arctic shore" I seem to remember that "Winslow" should actually be "Ounslow".
