I sing Cape Cod Gals with children, which they can relate to ("Oh, Cape Cod gals they've got no combs...They comb their hair with codfish bones.."). It's a chantey, though not about whaling.

A good song for singing with children that is about whales is Don Sinetti's The Song of the Whales. Very singable, and each verse is about a different species. I've used it often in elementary school programs. I didn't find it in the DT, but PM me and I can type up the lyrics for you, or you can call me and I'll sing it to you over the phone.
