Since The Tempest is one of Shakespeare's later plays, I wonder if including "Kate" in this sea shanty might be a meta-textual reference to Katherine from The Taming of the Shrew. Probably not, but I like the idea lol. Also, I recently fell in love with The Tempest and your videos on it have been super helpful!

It’s definitely a fun idea!
