Remembering The Yetties - Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a  fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. In 19th-century maritime folklore it was a kind of afterlife for sailors who have served at least 50 years at sea (Wikipedia)
