To them has been traced the Marblehead dialect, which rolls the " r, " pronounces the " i " like " oy, " makes the " a " very broad, and turns the " v " into " w " and the " w " into "v. " Whittier's poem of Skipper Ireson gives some notion of a manner of speech which was heard in Marblehead until quite recent times. Rough these men may have been, but they had courage and resourceful- ness, and their fishing life was... full of the romance and poetry of adventure.
