My Father, Ralph Coombs, was 1 of the men who build The Willing Lass. I remember him telling me about it when I was a small boy. I may be mistaken, but I think she was built in Springdale by Pilley's. She sank some years ago out around Newfoundland. Thanks for posting this. It was a very pleasant surprise.

A man originally from my hometown in Labrador wrote a song about The Willing Lass years ago. He recently added a video to KZfaq. The Willing Lass by Glen Acreman.

For a long time she remained docked by the side of the Government wharf in Springdale. We used to go fishing of her deck and would pretend we were sailors taking her out on the bounding main! I lovely schooner all around! I wonder what happened to her?
