Other songs related to sea chanteys:
- Barrett’s Privateers has been frequently mistaken for an authentic folksong. It was actually written by Stan Rogers, but is very true to history, as documented by The Canadian Privateering Homepage in Barrett’s Privateers Explored. Barrett’s Privateers is also the most frequently parodied song I know.
- Way Down the Ohio A song of the river barges.
