Steve Gardham	Origins: A gallant ship from England (27)	RE: Origins: A gallant ship from England	25 Feb 21
This is quite a scarce sea song! The broadside is titled 'A gallant Sea Fight' and it's Roud 1424. The only other oral version I know of is sung by Walter Pardon on various recordings. The broadside is by Pitts of London c1840 but there is a slightly longer version printed in York by Kendrew probably earlier. In the final verse 3 ships are named that fought off the French, the Orange, The Loo and the Unity, but the style smacks of a generic piece rather than based on a real event. Could you please give further details. Where is this orderly book? And could you please give the remainder of this version?
