I have spent many years in the Navy and have studied both U.S. and English Naval History. When I listen to The Last Farewell , I hear the lamentation of a young man off to war. It takes place during the 100 years war between England and France. The young man is part of the crew of an English Man-of -War (18th century name for large warship) which lies in the harbor of a Carribian or Pacific island. Tomorrow the ship must sail into battle against the French, and this is the young man's last lament. He holds his native love for the last time, knowing that he may die in battle on the morrow, but, even if he survives, his ship will go to England and not return to the island, so he must leave his love forever. By Lyn The Last Farewell is a Roger Whittaker original, and if you liked it you may like to see a sequel in the poetry of David Dawson.http://hometown.aol.com/davepawson/beyond.html

Nobody knows the answer to this question, simply because the song was not written by Roger Whittaker. Although often referred to as his career song, "The Last Farewell" was actually written by Ron Webster, a silversmith in Birmingham, England. While many have tried to attribute some romantic connection between the song and Mr. Whittaker, none exists.
