Interesting stuff, Rory. Is 'The Seaman's Renown' definitely the same song - it doesn't seem to have been listed under Roud 321? Steve Gardham will have something, I'm sure.

Also, it may be worth mentioning to avoid confusion that Roud 162 was titled 'The Bold Dragoon' by Baring-Gould, and that a separate broadside, V279, carries the same title.
