I Saw Three Ships
"I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" is a traditional and popular Christmas carol from England. A variant of its parent tune "Greensleeves", the earliest printed version of "I Saw Three Ships" is from the 17th century, possibly Derbyshire, and was also published by William Sandys in 1833.〔Cecil James Sharp (2008) (The Morris Book: With a Description of Dances as Performed by the Morris Men )〕〔
The lyrics mention the ships sailing into Bethlehem, but the nearest body of water is the Dead Sea about away. The reference to three ships is thought to originate in the three ships that bore the purported relics of the Biblical magi to Cologne Cathedral in the 12th century.〔(Website describing the carol and giving secondary references )〕 Another possible reference is to Wenceslaus II, King of Bohemia, who bore a coat of arms "Azure three galleys argent".〔Camden Roll, dated c.1280, entry 11 and Heralds' Roll, dated c.1280 entry 18.〕 Another thought was the three kings that came to baby Jesus.
==Arrangements==
An arrangement by Martin Shaw appears in the ''Oxford Book of Carols''.〔''The Oxford Book of Carols'' (1928) p.36.〕 The ''Carols for Choirs'' series of carol books features arrangements of the carol by both Sir David Willcocks and John Rutter. Organist Simon Preston and former conductor of the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Sir Philip Ledger, have also written arrangements that the choir have performed at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in recent years. This carol is also featured in the musical ''Caroline, or Change'', but as a counterpoint. Adapted by Jon Schmidt on ''Jon Schmidt Christmas'' album. John Renbourn has arranged it (in a rather free adaptation) for guitar. The song appears on Nat King Cole's 1960 album ''The Magic of Christmas'' (l/k/a "The Christmas Song"), arranged by Ralph Carmichael.
