about

This medley caught my eye in the Stan Hugill book Shanties From The Seven Seas. I was intrigued by the fact that the first one led by Stefan came via a Bluenose (Nova Scotian) source, while the second one comes to us via the West Indies. Hugill attributes the third version as Liverpool-Irish, popular with the sailors in the famed Black Ball Line. I was very impressed to hear Captain Dano Quinn of Mystic, CT sing this one in Ennistymon, Co. Clare, the only time I’ve heard a live rendition of it to this day. - James
