"Soon May the Wellerman Come", also known as "Wellerman" or "The Wellerman", is a sea ballad from New Zealand, claimed to be from c. 1860-1870, though records of it go back only to the 1960s. The song refers to the "wellermen", pointing to supply ships[citation needed] owned by the Weller brothers, who were amongst the earliest European settlers of Otago.
In early 2021, a cover by Scottish singer Nathan Evans became a viral hit on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around sea shanties and maritime songs (Source: Wikipedia)
