This is a song written for the White Viking Fleet by a gentleman who, like so many of the passengers on the Gripsholm, Kungholm and Stockholm, found joy and happiness on board a Swedish American Line ship. It is a tribute of which we are justly proud, since it was born out of a spontaneous and genuine feeling of kinship with all that our ships' officers and crew always strive to create in the way of atmosphere on board, that intangible something which bring a smile and--a song! Swedish American Line. Edward Specter spent his career in music, as a composer, lyricist, and also as the manager of the Pittsburgh Symphony in the early 1950s. He also established Edward Specter Productions. Publication date is estimated based upon the entry into service of the MS Stockholm. It could be into the mid-1960s based upon the introduction of a new version of the Gripsholm. More
