  • "The singing of sea shanties as working songs at sea is a lost art. It died with the last of the British Cape Horners. the Finns and the Germans didn't use such songs - not in the last of their ships, at any rate. Nobody sang much in the Aaland Islands square-riggers. Nobody knew the songs, nor the use of them. Work was a hard slog on deck or aloft there all the time, aided by brace-winches and halyard winches and such things. In the last of the Limejuice Cape Horners Stan Hugill was shanteyman - the last shanteyman anywhere, I'd think. IStan's cheerful shanteys were a help even there, just as they were in the big four-masted barque Garthpool. Such shanteys were part of the old sea life. They were real, and so where the men who led them and worked to them. There just is no place form them now."
