The chorus, but not the lyrics, in the DT version is the same as that in the recording by William and Versey Smith 'When that Great Ship Went Down' for Paramount 1927. It doesn't have 'Little Old Log Cabin' tune. It's in Harry Smith's 'Anthology' and also on a great compilation of black gospel music by John Fahey on his Revenant label: 'American Primitive Vol 1'. The notes in the reissue 'Anthology' say it was based on a printed ballad in the Frank C. Brown Collection at Duke University. Other blues artists who recorded Titanic related songs included Pink Anderson 'The Titanic' and Blind Willie Johnson 'God Moves on the Water'. Old-time artists included Ernest Stoneman, the Phipps Family, Frank Hutchison and Roy Acuff. Hobart Smith also recorded a song under the title 'The Great Titanic'.
