    Notes:
      Quite possibly Carl Wilson's masterpiece.

      This story of the early explorers to North America fits in quite well with the natural/historical theme of Holland that is prevalent in "Sail On Sailor", "Steamboat", and the California Saga.

      Definite highlight of the HOLLAND album.
