The Caledonia was a brig of some 200 tons, built in Arbroath, Scotland, and wrecked on 7 September 1843 on Sharpnose Point, near Morwenstow, Cornwall.
Final voyage
In September 1842 the Caledonia was homeward bound from Odessa, and called in at Falmouth to bury a crewman who had died of wounds suffered during a knife fight in Constantinople. The Caledonia then sailed for Gloucester to unload her cargo of wheat.
As she departed Falmouth a north-westerly gale was raging. At about 1 am on the morning of 8 September the ship's lookout saw waves breaking to leeward on Sharpnose Point, near Morwenstow, Cornwall.
Her captain, Stevenson Peter, shortened sail and tried to stand clear of the shore, but the ship refused to come up and soon hit the rocks at Sharpnose Point. As they hit, the captain ordered the crew to climb into the rigging, but the mast collapsed, throwing them into the sea where they all died. The sole survivor was Edward Le Dain from Jersey who managed to get ashore where a farmer discovered him at dawn. He was taken to the local Rectory where the Reverend Robert Stephen Hawker ensured that he was cared for and nursed back to health. Later Le Dain sent the best Jersey cow he could find in gratitude. He also named his son Edward Robert Hawker Le Dain born in 1854, and made Hawker and his wife godparents.
William Murdoch (sometimes spelled Murdock) (21 August 1754 – 15 November 1839) was a Scottish engineer and long-term inventor.
Murdoch was employed by the firm of Boulton and Watt and worked for them in Cornwall, as a steam engine erector for ten years, spending most of the rest of his life in Birmingham, England.
Murdoch remained an employee and later a partner of Boulton & Watt until the 1830s, and his reputation as an inventor has been obscured by the reputations of Boulton and Watt and the firm they founded.

The Fretless & Madeleine Roger - Caledonia OFFICIAL VIDEO
CALEDONIA
Caledonia started off as a poem, written by Madeleine on the banks of the Moray Firth near Inverness in Scotland.
A love of “Caledonia”, the Latin name that the Roman Empire used for the Scottish highlands, is shared by all of the members of The Fretless. They have been fortunate to tour in the region multiple times, and have been deeply influenced by the fiddle traditions of the area. Together, The Fretless and Madeleine turned their adoration of Scotland into this song, a timeless-sounding folk ballad that is both new and rooted in tradition.
Ultimately, Caledonia is about letting ourselves be transformed by the beauty all around us. It is about always seeking to discover the best version of ourselves, and trying to find home wherever we go.

CALEDONIA
I don’t know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I’ve been afraid, that I might drift away
I’ve been tellin’ stories, singing songs
That made me think about where I’ve come from
And that’s the reason why I seem so far away today.
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.
I have moved, and I’ve kept on movin’
Proved the points that I needed provin’
I Lost the friends that I needed losin’
Found others on the way.
I’ve kissed the girls and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there’s no denying
I ‘ve traveled hard som...

CALEDONIA LYRICS
Clouds in white against a heartbreak sky
I’m looking at the passing of time
Infinite fields, impossibly green
Another year older, another year older
An ancient fence, stone by stone
Keeps the flock from going out alone
But my legs are long and over I go
Carry me far from trouble and woe
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
Will you take me in
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
I feel I’m coming home
Run to the ocean for a different view
Was there sometime in myself a tide could undo
Kick off my shoes when the sea gets low
Wash me over wash me over
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
Will you take me in
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
I feel I’m coming home
Cut off my past and take the fall
Inches closer to standing taller
Breakup bangs and a first tattoo
I had to go, had to go
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
Will you take me in
Caledonia, will I ever know ya
I feel I’m coming home

I don’t know if you can see the changes that have come over me

And that’s the reason why I seem so far away today.
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.
I have moved, and I’ve kept on movin’
Proved the points that I needed provin’
I Lost the friends that I needed losin’
Found others on the way.
I’ve kissed the girls and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes there’s no denying
I ‘ve traveled hard sometimes with conscience flyin’
Somewhere in the wind
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia you’re calling me, now I’m goin’ home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
