"City of Savannah" sort of rang a bell. I looked it up and found it attributed to Matt Malloy (known for his work with the Chieftains). On the cd "Stony Steps," 1987. I have it stuck away somewhere.

The "City of Savannah" has been called the first steamship to cross the Atlantic (1819), but this is not strictly true. It was a full-rigged ship and the steam engine was an auxilliary, and was used for only part of the voyage from Savannah to Liverpool.
