* (Not chanteys, but popular on the seas)

It seemed to me that indexes to the chanteys in the older books, or chanteys definitely collected before 1900, might be of some value.
Captain Davis gives some extended versions, and some quite different from those usually heard. I will post those for which there are requests.

I will add to this Index, and hope others will do the same.
