Just to add, of course, that "The Last Ship" is not actually canon...

The poem is much older than Tolkien's ideas of Elves in LOTR Original version is from 1934. In one of one of Tolkien's letters to Pauline Baynes he says that these poems are "pictures seen in a tapestry of antiquity..." He also said that The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon and The Last Ship 'must be derived ultimately from Gondor', and that the poems were 'only re-handlings of Southern matter' In other words, he uses the conceit of it being the folklore of a created world - Middle-earth legend not history!

I didn't think we had seen any shots of Bilbo in and/or on top of any barrels.
