'North Antrim' was Robert McMullan from Portballintrae near Bushmills in North Antrim.

There are few songs about the fishing communities. Most of them were god-fearing Pesbyterian communities as well (which explains a bit). Also there are only three maritime counties - Londonderry, Antrim and Down. However, almost every book of songs from the north of Ireland includes one or two songs of the kind.

Try Sam Henry's collection, Cathal O'Boyle - Songs of County Down - Jackie Boyce - Songs of the County Down.

There are also songs in obscure places - ballad sheet and small song books, manuscripts and local publications - like the Outlet Archive Cassette of songs about the Newcastle fishing disaster or the Appendix to Estyn Evans' Mourne Country.
