Correct answer

I Saw Three Ships

Explanation

"I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" is a traditional and popular Christmas carol from England. The lyrics mention the ships sailing into Bethlehem, but the nearest body of water is the Dead Sea about 20 miles 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.
