Lyr Req: Sea Area Thames

From: GUEST,Johnny Mindlin of Green-Shoot.com

I'm creating a radio programme pilot, aimed at BBC Radio4. One section is about the part of the sea called Sea Area Thames - from the English coast from London to Yarmouth over to more-or-less Flissingen to Aalkmar on the Dutch side - so Essex, Suffolk and the east coast of Norfolk.
I need a song that talks or mentions that specific bit of water and/or the ports on its coast - Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Felixtowe, Harwich, Ipswich, Brightlingsea, Canvey or Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Haarlem, The Hook of Holland.
Please only let me know about specific songs, not singers or collections (yes, I know Bob Roberts ;-) and, if you know where I can hear a recording, that would be great!
I hope you can help.
Thanks
Johnny Mindlin

A google of: 'Vlissingen song' seems to get a few hits. I haven't checked them out because I'm at work.
'Vlissingen' seems better for searches than 'Flissingen', or (the english variant) Flushing.

Cheers
