The viral Wellerman sea shanty is also a window into the remarkable cross-cultural whaling history of Aotearoa New Zealand

In a year of surprises, one of the more pleasant was the recent runaway viral popularity of 19th century sea shanties on TikTok. A collaborative global response to pandemic isolation, it saw singers and musicians layering harmonies atop an original recording of Soon May the Wellerman Come by Scottish postie Nathan Evans. Spread via TokTok and other social media, it has become the most popular song in the “ShantyTok” trend.

More than that, it is a window into an earlier era of global interconnection that shaped the social and economic history of our southern coasts.
