Description

The perfect pocket reference for sea shanties and songs of the sea from the lost days of the
great sailing ships. Over a hundred traditional songs with music, arranged alphabetically and
sized to conveniently fit in your coat pocket, sea bag, backpack, purse or back hip pocket.
Easy to learn, these favourite songs can educate or entertain, or perhaps even accompany a
working tall ship crew as they turn the capstan, haul on the bowline or splice the mainbrace.
Work songs, play songs and all around fun to sing songs – for the sailor, singer and pirate in
everyone.
