Count To A Million Thread!

6342

But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock

6343, prime!

She’s worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock

6344 = 23 × 13 × 61

And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain

6345

And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

6346 = 2 × 19 × 167

Rise again, rise again

6347

That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men

6348 = 22 x 3 x 232

All those who loved her best and who were with her till the end

6349 = 7 × 907

Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

6350

All spring, now, we’ve been with her on a barge lent by a friend

6351 = 3 × 29 × 73

Three dives a day in hard-hat suit and twice I’ve had the bends

6352 = 24 x 397

Thank God it’s only sixty feet and the currents here are slow

6353

Or I’d never have the strength to go below

6354 = 2 x 32 x 353

So we’ve patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down

6355 = 5 × 31 × 41

Put cables to her fore and aft and girded her around

6356

Tomorrow noon we hit the air and then take up the strain

6357 = 3 x 13 x 163

And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

6358 = 2 × 11 × 172

Rise again, rise again

6359

That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men

6360 = 23 x 3 x 5 x 53

All those who loved her best and who were with her till the end

6361

Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
