Was Stan Rogers song of the above name about a real boat?

I'm almost certain the boat is fictional, but I'm not finding documentation of that just now.

The Boscastle Busker (aka John Maughan) employed this song as a rousing anthem to revive the spirit of the village after the terrible flood of August 2004.
