Queen of the Waves is a French Marian hymn sung by French fishermen seeking protection from storms. In the United States, it became well known as a result of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. The nuns of the St. Mary's Orphan asylum had the orphans sing this song in order to calm them. Of the 93 children and 10 sisters in the orphanage, only three teenage boys survived. As a result of this event, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word across the world sing this song every year on 8 Septembe
