Anchor Watch Newfoundland Stories in Verse, Otto P. Kelland

Anchor Watch: Newfoundland Stories in Verse (1960) by Otto P. Kelland is a collection of poems that captures the essence of Newfoundland's maritime culture and history. Kelland, a native of Lamaline, Newfoundland, was not only a songwriter but also a model shipbuilder and a former police officer. His most renowned composition, "Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's," reflects his deep connection to the Newfoundland fishing community 

📖 About the Book

Published by Dicks & Co., Anchor Watch features a series of poems that delve into the lives of Newfoundland's fishermen, the challenges they faced, and the rich traditions of the sea. The poems are written in a style that resonates with the rhythms of the ocean, capturing the spirit of the island's coastal communities.

🎵 Musical Connection

Kelland's influence extended beyond poetry into music. He composed several songs that became integral to Newfoundland's folk music repertoire. One notable example is "Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary's," which was later inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame
