Hi all,

For some reason the tune "The Three Sea Captains" has been haunting me for the last few weeks. I would like to know its history, for example when it was written, and for what occasion (if there was a special occasion at all) and so on. And wasn't there an 18th century painting of that name, too? I remember seeing one, but that was about ten years ago, and I don't remember where I saw it.

Thanks in advance!
