Enrico Caruso sang this song, composed by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan fame) in 1877, at a benefit for the survivors of the Titanic at the MET in New York City, on April 29, 1912 - two weeks after the ship went down.
In 1976, the late British improvising guitarist Derek Bailey covered it in his own (non-)idiomatic way.
