This site has some background for the song "The Fitting Out" which I learned (iirc) from AL Lloyd, Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl on the album Whaler Out of New Bedford. It is sung to the tune of "Flash Company." http://www.sea.edu/academics/k-12_detail/packing_a_sea_chest Does anyone know the name of the author, if any? Was the ship Ocean Rover American or British? What's a "squill?" (From context, it might be a medicinal plant.)
