Shanties from the Seven Seas

by Hugill, Stan

CAD $26.95

Stan Hugill is often credited with preserving much of the sea shanty heritage. In this book, first published in England in 1961, he collected not only 400 of traditional working songs from the age of sail, but wrote an essay explaining how shanties came to be and when and how they were sung. Now this wonderful, classic resource is back in print. As Hugill wrote in his original introduction, "Shanties were always associated with work — and a rigid tabu held against singing them ashore." Stan Hugill died in 1992 at age 85, after a long career as a merchant mariner, shantyman, and sailing instructor for Outward Bound.
