Don't know of a specific song--though there very likely were ballads about it--especially considering it seems to be the main inspiration for "Moby Dick"----the sinking of the Essex, 20 November 1820, just south of the equator, 119 degrees W, by a large sperm whale, which rammed the ship twice. The second time the collision was at a combined speed of 7 knots- Ahab's Trade, by Granville Allen Mawer.
