"The Wellerman" [c. 1860–70] is a sea ballad from New Zealand. The song refers to the "Wellermen", which were supply ships owned by the Weller brothers who were settlers from England. In early 2021, during the COVID Pandemic, a cover by Scottish singer Nathan Evans became a viral hit on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around songs erroneously considered sea shanties.
