It comes from Australia/New Zealand, like most good sea shanties (there's a reason why the Wellerman succeeded where Scottish 'sea shanties' failed), but is too blatantly about that area for the ~~stupid~~ ignorant people from the North Atlantic.

Great version. This was a favorite after matches at my English Rugby Club in the 90’s. One of our mates would sing it, and the rest of us would sing the chorus. When we won promotion, we gathered together in our A’s, and with a pint in our hands, a telephone was held up as we sang it to one of our club legends. He was in hospital battling cancer. I wept like a baby. Rest Easy My CPRFC Brother……..

@lindathomas5500

The Cornish have always sung, the miners, fishermen and field workers. I remember as a small child in the late 60’s early 70’s, being in a pub with my parents, and someone would start singing and before you knew it the whole pub was singing lol…

Her third and final world voyage was back to Australia (west and north coast survey work) and I needed a tune for this in my summary of her final days in my logbook and for my friends. This just hit the mark and is a great memento for a great little ship that changed the world.
