Cover Photo: The Irish Sail Training Vessel, the Asgard II. Photo by Pat Sheridan, April 1998
Asgard, according to Norse tradition, was the kingdom of the northern Gods and said to be at the centre of the universe. It had to be reached by a rainbow bridge and contained many regions including Valhalla (the Norse Heaven); what an appropriate vision for a tall ship.
Many thanks to Gabriel Bradley at Coiste an Asgard for permission to feature Asgard II on our cover, and to Captain McAllister & Bosun Tom who were so helpful and tolerant with Pat trying to get the cover shot for this CD.
Special thanks to our families whose support was appreciated, the Clancy household for making us feel at home and Robbie O'Connell likewise and Mooney's Pub in Ring for their patience when we took a break in the snug and sang practically nothing but shanties.
