| Notes 1 | A certain man in Broad Cove, Inverness, one time conceived the idea of building a vessel. He had been for some time going to sea and was very fond of boasting what he would do when his new vessel was finished. But the vessel was never finished. The poet saw it after it had reached a state of hopeless decay and composed the rhyme which follows. |
| Notes 2 | Donald Gobha was born in Glenelg, Morar, Scotland on April 3rd 1807. He emigrated to Nova Scotia with his father in 1819. They settled at the South West River, Margaree. Donald apprenticed as a blacksmith and learned French. He subsequently settled in Strathlorne, Inverness County, where he raised a large family of five sons and four daughters with his wife Mary MacIsaac. He moved to Grand Mira in 1868 and died there in 1890. |
