MtheGM-
The route would only be relevant if the shantyman picked up or composed a new song or some verses while in San Francisco or Sydney.
South Australia Banks of the Sacramento (gold rush inspired) Bound to California (gold rush inspired) The 'Frisco Ship Bound to California Bound to Australia
Otherwise the shantyman would sing anything he knew that was appropriate for the job being done.
