"All Hands" By David MacAdam. Artwork by Captain "Bud" Robinson. (1913 Storm)

"All Hands" is a song from David MacAdam's 1913 Storm collection. With his permission, this video features the exceptional artwork of Captain "Bud Robinson". Captain Robinson is an extraordinary marine artist. His paintings come from the heart and are substantiated by his many years as a Captain on The Great Lakes.
Nov 8th, 9th and 10th of 1913 saw an unprecedented storm that ravaged The Great Lakes. Hurricane force winds with assaulting seas claimed over 250 mariners. 19 ships destroyed and 19 more stranded. This song and video pay tribute to those lost souls and ships. Thank you for listening / viewing and a special thanks to Capt. Robinson for contributing to the remembrance of this tragic event.
Goderich Ontario, (my home town) was central to this disaster. In the days following the storm, many bodies washed up and were recovered on the eastern shore of Lake Huron. It was documented that some of the victims had pocket watches. Many of those watches stopped working at 0125hrs.
