One character in this work sings "I always voted at my party's call, And I never thought of thinking for myself at all" in a song explaining how he achieved his high position, "When I was a lad."

This operetta begins with the arrival of Sir Joseph Porter to the title (*) location, and ends with Sir Joseph consenting to the marriage of Josephine and Ralph Rackstraw. Including such songs as "I'm called Little Buttercup" and "A British tar," it is subtitled "The Lass That Loved a Sailor." For 10 points, name this Gilbert and Sullivan operetta set on the title boat.
