Shantyman par excellence, Steve Lewis, passed on 2/11/2011 after a long and fruitful life, much learning, much shared music and fellowship, glory, love, and honor. He lived with cancer for the last year of his life, and was able to make all his arrangements and say his farewells.

May the sun shine gently and the breezes blow softly and the stirring and beautiful singing never cease where he has gone.

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddlers Green


Steve Lewis, Shantyman and Arctic oceanographer.
