Bawdy, lyrical, and sentimental, sea songs--often composed by the sailors themselves--relate every aspect of nautical life, from mutiny and shipwreck to pressgangs and piracy to relations with wives and sweethearts. This anthology gathers together 159 sea songs, including tunes wherever possible, ranging geographically across the seven seas and in time from the 1560s ("John Dory") to 1979 ("The Final Trawl"). A wealth of fascinating historical and technical detail gives background to the songs.
