Like other ballads of its ilk this song has been much rewritten with different names of ships/locations.

The earlier broadsides are titled 'Captain Mansfield's Fight with the Turks at Sea'. There's a version in Roy Palmer's Oxford Book of Sea Songs (Boxing the Compass). Another broadside simply titled 'A New Song' has the captain as Captain Farmer with the 'Goldsport' of Plymouth.

Oral versions have titles:
The Marigold
Turkish Men-of-War
The Good Luck Ship
The Twenty-fourth of February
and one untitled version is even set aboard the Victory at Trafalgar
