The Dubliners ~~~ Leaving of Liverpool

The Leaving of Liverpool is a traditional folk song.
In this video it is sung by the Dubliners.

Liverpool was once one of the major sea ports in the UK and indeed the world.

One of the commonly sung versions of the song was collected from Richard Maitland,
a resident of Sailor's Snug Harbor a home for retired seamen on Staten Island.

Maitland reputedly learned it while on board the sailing ship General Knox around 1885,
nine years before it caught fire while berthed on the East River, New York.

The Davy Crockett, launched 1853 October 18 at the shipyard of Greenman & Co

and
referred to in the song, was a well-known clipper ship of the nineteenth century.
