"The stuff about Seaman Stains and Roger the Cabin Boy are pure urban myth."
That may be so, but I guarantee you that Master Bates was real.
Reading this gave me a seriously briny nostalgia for seafarin' - and I must be one of the only ones who never heard of ShantyTok.
BTW one of the strongest forces for the return of the sea shanty must have been Assassin's Creed: Black Flag from 10 years ago. The shanties in that were just perfect for the toy Spanish Main that they gave you to play in.
I’ve heard some cultural commentators claim that ‘earnest’ and ‘authentic’ are where we’re heading. Haul it in! BRAVO!
Sweet! LOVE IT

Ah, you missed Shanty Tok and I missed Assassin's Creed. Keeping up with contemporary cultural life is so bloody difficult, eh?
