Shogun	Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' (266* d)	RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun'	10 Feb 21
Gibb Sahib Thanks for your attention, this is great news for me, the shanty expert such you, look at it. I will gently ask you to be a little bit more precise in your comments. Do you mean the song needs to be singing in Plattdeutsch? I'm not sure what you mean? About this what says Hugill on page 105 first edition of "Shanties From the Seven Seas", is "Low German of Hamburg", which is actually called: "Hamborger Platt" which is a variety of standard German. To be honest, I did not been as precise to find a person with "Hamborger Platt" accent, however, this is a good point, for the next shanty in German, I will try to find a person with this particular accent, but I cannot promise it until somebody agrees.
