The Greenland Whale Fisheries - English Folk Song

An English folk song that tells of a whaling expedition that leaves for Greenland. The lookout spots a whale, and harpoon boats are launched. However, the whale strikes the boat with its tail, capsizing it, and five men are killed. The captain grieves over losing his men, but is more upset over losing the whale. He then orders the ship to sail back to England.
