Not the answer you're looking for, but Great Big Sea's Rant and Roar is something of a Newfoundland version of Spanish Ladies.
In addition to the versions in your link, there's a version of Spanish Ladies on Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (Sea Shanty Edition, Vol. 2).
There's also an odd version of Spanish Ladies by Bill Frisell on an odd album of somewhat modern interpretations of Sea Shanties called Rogue's Gallery.

Found the album to purchase on amazon.co.uk but no download :/

|about artist|Mark Radcliffe hailed her voice and songs as “enchanting, beguiling and as fascinating as songs by Kate Bush and Björk” and KT Tunstall described her voice as "formidable and amazingly rhythmic". The elfin figure they are describing is Julie Fowlis, a talented singer and instrumentalist from Scotland. She is the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2008 and in a few short years has taken the music scene by storm... ([more on last.fm](http://www.last.fm/music/Julie Fowlis))|

I absolutely love my 2 disc Jackson C. Frank "Blues Run the Game" set. It's 42 tracks, every recording he ever did. Many of the songs are short, and very, very poor quality but the soul contained in each one just takes my breath away and breaks my heart. His voice is so hauntingly beautiful and he just lays every ounce of himself out in his words. Knowing a little bit of his very tragic background brings an even deeper element to his music.
I wish so badly he got the chance to become more recognized and appreciated... If you like folk/blues or just want to appreciate some honest music, give him a listen. I think you can find a couple of his songs on YouTube. I first heard of him during this scene in Daft Punk's Electroma... literally brought me to tears: http://youtu.be/_DxBx4FyTqY

Not as powerful without seeing everyone do various duties on the ship.
However, still awesome minimizing the tab. :3
For anyone interested, try this album: Rogue's Gallery I have had it for years and love the crap out of it.
Not saying you gotta get it from amazon, and not saying you CAN'T get it like... well like a pirate! (See what I did there?) but get it nonetheless.

I Know a lot of songs are off by 100 years or so, But they have a "Oh Britainnia" Feel.
i've had the newest box set on heavy rotation today. "Just look them straight in the eye and say Pogue Mahon!" is so very good.
'cept it's not blood ;)
The man in the moon drinks claret, as they say.
