Since I'm out of the loop, I did not realize sea shanties have been in the zeitgeist for months now (apparently thanks to tiktok).

As always I would recommend Adam Neely on the subject: https://youtu.be/m1ovAB4vKzw

Brings back memories of the annual Sea Music festival at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. We used to go every year with all our kids.

Great fun! Worth a visit...
