The Nella Dan

Stephen Foster & Graeham Goble
February 19th, 1988

She made her way from Tasmania
The broken edge of the last frontier
And now she was sailing back to Antarctica
To the south and the great white land
The only place still untouched by man
Another adventure in the last great wilderness

She ran hard aground, the Nella Dan
On Macquarie island, in the promised land
Now our Viking queen will not sail again
For she's gone, she's gone, the Nella Dan

The Nella Dan was the sailor's home
A sanctuary for those months alone
A faithful companion to the south-bound scientist
Breaking her way through the ice and snow
Taking chances where so few could go
Out to discover secrets locked away

She ran hard aground, the Nella Dan
On Macquarie island, in the promised land
Now our Viking queen will not sail again
For she's gone, she's gone, the Nella Dan

Through the stormy sea & the icy wind, she was born to sail free
And she'll live forever in my heart, that's where she'll always be

No one could save the brave ship now
It was Christmas eve and they towed her out
Wounded and waiting, down to the water-line

She ran hard aground, the Nella Dan
On Macquarie island, in the promised land
Now our Viking queen will not sail again
For she's gone, she's gone, the Nella Dan

She ran hard aground, the Nella Dan
On Macquarie island, in the promised land
Now our Viking queen will not sail again
For she's gone, she's gone, the Nella Dan
