Emergency workers in Trinidad and Tobago are racing to clean up a massive oil spill after a mystery vessel ran aground near the Caribbean island, casting a pall over Carnival tourism.

The spill was "not under control" as of Sunday, said Prime Minister Keith Rowley, who added that the country is grappling with a national emergency.

The mystery vessel capsized Wednesday in waters off the Caribbean island, having made no emergency calls, with no sign of crew, and no clear sign of ownership.

Since they were only active for 2 years in which they put out 3 albums, I would say it's a pretty safe assumption. It's the only song by them I know. 🙂

You can check out their last album: Blues Image - Red White & Blues Image

Note: I haven't listened to it. 🙂

This is the album: Open which contains the hit song Ride Captain Ride

I've never listened to that album either. I haven't ever listened to any of their albums, actually. Their first album was titled Blues Image. 🙂

I realize I didn't answer your question, but I gave you enough information for you to find out. Have fun. 🤣

great song. I see a new commercial is using another nautical gem from the past.

Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Though I’m feeling mighty sick…

I’d keep playing. I don’t think the heavy stuff’s going to come down for quite a while.

“ Someone took the ship who shouldn’t have had it.

Not sea worthy - not insured and abandoned it once they knew it was going to sink.

Drug traders - terrorists - pirates - or worse..”

There is a bar in Arromanche, France, named after that ship. I was just there. Good place if you are in Normandy.
