My favorite.
This one is also good if it's the one I'm thinking of.
You can find lots of other albums that are more stylized/modern, but I prefer traditional if I can find them. There are also lots of good books on amazon about sea songs. Check out the one by Stan Hugill. It's pretty authentic (dude is one of the last true chantiers who actually used this stuff as work songs on ships) and about as close to comprehensive as one book'll get you.
Traditional sea shanties are work songs. sailors were laborers and laborers sing about their labor or what they do in between their labor. the more "epic" songs would be military or shipping line company songs like Heart of Oak or Black Ball Line. this album has a good number of english navy songs. https://www.amazon.com/Roast-England-Traditional-Sailor-Songs/dp/B00004UDET
Didn't find it on Google Books, but here it is in WorldCat and Amazon
Bonus
Couldn't find a mirror, but you can hear a sample (and can buy it) on Amazon.
I'm a fan of Jerry Bryant and the Starboard Mess. Amazon. Youtube.
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.
