This album is dedicated to the memory of vocalist Jonathan Eberhart who passed away on February 18, 2003, just as this album's release was finally imminent. Jonathan was the driving force behind the Boarding Party, and his strong voice and excellent musicianship are evident on the songs "Heave 'er Up And Bust 'er, " "Goodbye Old Ship of Mine, " "100 Years on the Eastern Shore, " "Farewell to Grog" and others.
