I've looked through the archives & I can't find anything on alternative cargo "in the hold of the Irish Rover". I remember one version -- or maybe it's just flashbacks -- mentioning:

...and a half ton stash of the best Saigon hash
In the hold of the Irish Rover.

The only other one I can think of is (you may already have):

For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
Set him on a southern shore with a charming young whore
Who will melt all his troubles away

All the noise and the rout with the porter and stout
For him soon it's done and it's over;
For the love of a maid he is never afraid
An old salt from the Irish Rover

PS; 'course, nothing illegal about having a few whores in the hold.
