Other capstan shanties were Rio Grande and General Taylor, to name two of the more commonly heard. G.T. was generally sung v. slowly - a dirge - as it was used for the slow heave of the anchor to the surface. Heaving the ship up to the anchor was comparatively light work and a faster shanty, like Rio Grande would be used. 'Leave 'er Johnny, Leave 'er' would be used at the capstan when warping the ship alongside the pier at the end of the yoyage.

The Downton pump is another interesting one - 'South Australia' was the only(?) shanty with both heaving and hauling in the chorus. Big flywheels with handles on them - 3 or so men heaving on each and several more hauling on ropes slipped over the handles.

All the above (mis)remembered from Hugill. He's yer man!
