"Wellerman" is a traditional New Zealand sea shanty (whaling song) that dates back to the 1860s. It gained worldwide popularity in the 2020s during the sea shanty revival on social media, particularly through versions by groups like The Longest Johns. The song describes the anticipation of a whaling ship's return with supplies from the Weller brothers' trading post.
