Yes. And like "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", it's based on a true story. The "John B" sank around the turn of the century. I think you can actually scuba dive down to the wreckage of the "John B".

Carl Sandburg published the chantey as a poem called "The John B Sails" in in 1927. Also in 1927, some guy named Alfred George Wathall did a modern arrangement for radio station WGN.
