The name of this Manx jig?

This tune & the video are gorgeous - but what’s the tune called?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

One of the comments seems to give the title "Three little boats".

Seems it’s one of the most common Manx jigs

Right - that’s sorted then - cheers! :)

A tragic song I believe, though I could not find the words ~ and tune, 6/8 & 4/4…

This appears three times in "Kiaull Vannin: A Source Book for Manx Tunes" - transcribed from the collections of Dr. J. Clague and others by Colin W. P. Jerry

Also in: "Kiaull un Theay 1: Manx Music and Songs for Folk Instruments" - Colin Jerry, page 67 - from the Clague collection / J.Cubbon

"Three Eeasteyryn Boghtey" = "Three Poor Fishermen":

The three of them went out in one boat.

Thanks Weejie! ;-)

Note - Manx "boght" = "poor", as in Irish "bocht", and Gaidhlig "bochd".

Manx for boat = "baatey", nom plural "baatyn".

Three little boats usually translated - "tree (or three) baatyn beggey".
