The Wellerman is a popular sea shanty that originated from New Zealand in the 19th century. The song tells the story of a group of whalers who are waiting for a supply ship called the Wellerman to arrive and bring them provisions, including sugar, tea, and rum. The crew is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Wellerman and they sing the song to keep their spirits up while they work. The song has gained renewed popularity in recent years through social media, with many people creating their own versions and adaptations.
