English Sailors Song The Gallant Frigate Amphitrite
The Gallant Frigate Amphitrite (Roud Folk Song Index, 4706), also known as Rounding the Horn, is an English maritime song about a trip from England to the Pacific Ocean via Rio and Chile. The difficult journey through the Straits of Magellan are remembered in this song, a favourite of English mariners.

The folk songs of the English have been overlooked compared to those of the other British peoples, something that this channel hopes to fix.
