Question

Post Body

I’ve been struck with the inspiration, and hyperfixation, of sea shanties again for the 5th time this year.

I’m interested in learning songs and such. Does anyone have any book recommendations? I was thinking of the Roud Folk Index but I would love a physical collection of songbooks that are more than just 15-30 songs.

Do y’all shanty lovers got any recommendations?
