The other day, Vardibidian mentioned putting together a playlist of sea shanties<\/a>. Which reminded me that I put together a list of sea-or-sailing songs a while back for a friend who was a sailor; it wasn’t shanties per se, but I thought it would be fun to post it here anyway.<\/p>\n

The links on these are to free-listening samples of purchasable songs. In the case of the traditional ones here, I’m mostly not especially wedded to this particular version, it was just what I had (or what was available to link to from iTunes). Note that if you have iTunes, you can hear much longer excerpts from these by clicking the ”View in iTunes” links from the Apple web pages.<\/p>\n

I like all of these, some of them quite a lot, but since there are so many of them, I’m bolding the titles of my very favorites.<\/p>\n

I thought about rearranging them in alphabetical or thematic order, but decided to leave them in the order I originally set up, plus a few items from my outtakes list added near the beginning and end.<\/p>\n

Note that “by” here means “as performed by.”<\/p>\n
