Gary and Vera Aspey were on my mind too, but for 'The coal and Albert Berry', a fantastic song, from the point of view of the miner and the coal.....

Also anything by a Kentish (UK) group, now defunct, called Tundra - can't recall their names, but did local sea and lover stuff like 'You Pretty maids of Greenwich', 'Lady of Rochester castle' (one I used to do and if you find the lyrics please......?), 'Admiral Benbow', and 'As I was awalking'

Hope you find something.
