The Ship that Never Returned
The Ship That Never Returned is an 1865 song written by Henry Clay Work, about a ship that left a harbor and never came back. No reason the ship never returned is given in the words of the song.
The song became so popular that Carl Sandburg's collection ''American Songbag'' recorded an adaptation from the Kentucky mountains. The tune formed the basis of "Wreck of the Old 97", about a 1903 train wreck; recorded by Vernon Dalhart in 1924, and many others afterward, the song became the first million-selling county music hit. Later, the melody was adapted in "Charlie on the MTA," created in 1948, as a campaign song for Walter A. O'Brien about a man who couldn't get off a Boston subway train because, rather than change all the turnstiles, the M.T.A added an exit fare—Charlie did not have the extra nickel to get off the train. The Kingston Trio recorded the song in 1959 (as "M.T.A.") and had a hit with the recording in the same year.
