Nice to read from you again Gondowe!
'The happy Mariners' did not make it into our version, because we thought that the tale told in it must come from a later age. Look at this
thread for the discussion we had about that poem. Especially my post 91, were I confinced myself that the happy mariniers are Teleri-Elves sailing from Eldamar to the east to fill their ship with 'oriental sparks' and encounter the lonely singer in the tower of pearl when they are on their way back to Eldamar.

These are interristing additions. I will have to look depper into what these poems say. But it is worth a look for sure.
