It was popularised by the Royal Navy and the United States Navy in the late 19th century, and variations of it were soon adopted by many branches of the armed services in the United Kingdom and the United States. Written in 1860, its author, William Whiting, was inspired by the dangers of the sea described in Psalm 107.
