Between 1853 and 1855, the barque "Julia Ann" made four trips from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. On the fourth return trip, October 3, 1855, she was ship-wrecked in the South Seas near the Scilly Islands.

Here is a slightly updated and revised listing of those voyages:

My question is this. What shanties *could* have been sung on these voyages made by the "Julia Ann"? To my knowledge, there is no historical record in a ship's log or from other accounts of any specific shanties being sung or heard on these trips. So I realize that the answers will be speculative.
