Nice list! Thanks for consolidating it.

Old Fid was composed by Bill Lowndes

Fisherman's Song was composed by Andy M. Stewart

In addition there is the hard-driving Marco Polo song by Jim Stewart of New Brunswick, composed as part of The Marco Polo Suite.

Then there are the contemporary musical settings for old nautical poems of C. Fox Smith, John Masefield, Bill Adams, Harry Kemp, Burt Franklin Jenness, Kipling, and William McFee but maybe they fall into a different category.

None of my creations have achieved a threshold of popularity to merit a mention.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
