This one's about the wreck of a boat called The Despatch in the 1800's off Isle aux Morts, near Newfoundland. Even though the boat went down, a courageous islander, his daughter, and their dog saved many of the passengers lives'
Unfortunately, the dog died while helping to save them. His breed was huskie, hence the name 'dire wolf'.
Canada Lee and Tallulah Bankhead were actors in the 1944 movie Lifeboat, which adds further proof to the song's theme. This song is killer, a top notch Hip tune.
