Immortalized in song and story in the 19th century, the Bonnie Ship the Diamond is a traditional Scottish folk ballad penned to commemorate a whaling ship.
The song was popularized by Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd in 1957. According to Lloyd in the liner notes for his album Leviathan in 1967, the Diamond sailed out of Peterhead beginning in 1825 and was one of many vessels in a fleet lost to the crush of ice floes in the Davis Straits in 1830. The Resolution and the Eliza Swan were also among such a fleet, with the Rattler of Leigh (not the Battler of Montrose as the some versions of the song suggest.) Lloyd claims the song must have only been written a season or two before the tragedy, given the timeline from the ship's maiden voyage to the disaster that claimed her.
