The great storm of 1889 caused much loss of life all along the east coast - as the song says, from Yarmouth down to Scarborough. (The seamen of East Anglia always talk of 'down' for north and 'up' for south). Written by William Delf of Grimsby at the time, I first heard this from the Watersons in about 1968.
