About

Rousing songs from the age of sail. The armchair sailor will find plenty to fire the imagination in this cheerful collection of songs from the sea. Sea shanties were often sung to help with the repetitive and back-breaking tasks needed to sail a big ship - good rhythms, good tunes and good words.
