Shanty Book, Sea Shanties Book- The Shanty Store

Our shanty book page features the essential volumes of The World's Last Great Shantyman- Stan Hugill. "In giving the histories of these songs, Stan Hugill gives us fascinating details of his own life as deepwater sailor and song-collector, of the vessels and ports and working routines of the sailing-ship era, of sea fact and sea folklore." We also recommend Chanteying Aboard American Ships By Frederick Pease Harlow.
